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
- Put the flour in a large bowl and slowly add the water, salt, and olive oil.
- Using a wooden spoon stir all the ingredients together until a shaggy ball of dough starts to form.
- 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.
- Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest on the counter for about 30-40 minutes.
- 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.
- Mix the two together until the cabbage gets a little softer. At this point, add all the other ingredients. Mix well.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Shaping each gyoza: Place the gyoza wrapper on your hand and using a teaspoon, add the chicken mixture into the center of a wrapper.
- Dip your other hand finger in water and wet the outer rim of the wrapper.
- 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.
- When you are ready to cook the gyoza, heat a thin layer of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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!
- Dipping sauce: For the dipping sauce, simply mix all ingredients together.
