Gluten-free Gyoza With Chicken Filling

Ingredients

For the gyoza:

  • 1 ⅔ cups gluten-free flour (I used Schar Mix B)
  • 2/3 cup boiling water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Pinch of salt

For the filling:

  • 400 g chicken breast (chopped or minced)
  • 1 cup cabbage (finely chopped)
  • 1 grated carrot
  • 3 green onion leaves (chopped into rings)
  • 1 tbsp gf soy sauce
  • Sesame oil – few drops
  • 1 Pinch of salt
  • A little Olive oil for frying
  • ½ cup water

For the dipping:

  • 4 tbsp gf soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar

Preparation

  1. Put the flour in a large bowl and slowly add the water, salt, and olive oil.
  2. Using a wooden spoon stir all the ingredients together until a shaggy ball of dough starts to form.
  3. At this point, start using your hands to knead the dough while incorporating any remaining flour. The dough should be a little soft and it should not stick to your fingers.
  4. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest on the counter for about 30-40 minutes.
  5. In the meantime start preparing the chicken filling (Or any other desired filling): Put the chopped cabbage into a large bowl and add a little salt.
  6. Mix the two together until the cabbage gets a little softer. At this point, add all the other ingredients. Mix well.
  7. After 30-40 minutes, take the dough out of the bowl and divide it in half. Now, lightly dust your work surface with flour (I used the same Schar Mix B flour) and start rolling the first half into a thin layer using a rolling pin.
  8. When the dough layer is thin enough, start creating the round shapes using a cookie cutter or something similar. The round shapes should have a diameter of around 8cm.
  9. Once you are done with the first half of the dough, repeat this process with the second one. Note: if you don’t feel like the gyoza wrapper is thin enough you can always flatten it more, individually, with the rolling pin.
  10. Shaping each gyoza: Place the gyoza wrapper on your hand and using a teaspoon, add the chicken mixture into the center of a wrapper.
  11. Dip your other hand finger in water and wet the outer rim of the wrapper.
  12. Then, fold the wrapper over the filling while pinching the edges to close it (Check out my IG video on how I did this step). Repeat with each gyoza.
  13. When you are ready to cook the gyoza, heat a thin layer of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  14. Once hot, slowly add the gyoza with the seam side up and fry until the bottom is golden brown and crispy (Can take 2-3 minutes).
  15. Now, it’s time to steam the gyoza and you will do so by adding ½ cup of water into the pan (Be careful of the hot oil in the pan!) and quickly closing it with a lid.
  16. Let the gyoza steam in the pan for about 5 minutes or until the water has evaporated almost completely. Take the gyoza out of the pan and serve hot!! ENJOY!
  17. Dipping sauce: For the dipping sauce, simply mix all ingredients together.
