Thermomix Gyoza (Pan-Fried)

Gyoza’s have always been one of my favourite things to eat when I’m out. But until recently, I’d only make them a couple of times at home – and each time I’d steamed them in the Thermomix. I have to say though – this version of my Thermomix Gyoza are pan fried and they are AMAZING. I personally think that they’re way better than the steamed version. Seriously, they’re that yummy!

The Thermomix makes whipping up the gyoza filling so quick and easy. It chops the cabbage and then mixes everything together in less than a minute. Then it’s simply a matter or popping a teaspoon of filling onto a wonton wrapper, dampening the edges with water and sealing together.

To get that really delicious crispy pan fried gyoza happening, you need to heat a little bit of sesame (or peanut) oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil has just started to smoke, add the gyoza’s to the pan and leave to cook on one side for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Pour 1/4 cup of water over the gyoza’s and cover the pan with a lid. Allow to cook until the water has evaporated.

Your gyoza’s will be perfectly crispy on one side and steamed on the other. Absolutely delicious! Repeat in batches until all of your gyoza’s have been cooked. Serve immediately with a yummy soy, sweet chilli and ginger dipping sauce, sesame seeds and Japanese mayo.
