I was very glad of your tutorial - the recipe I was going to use just said to squeeze the wrappers at the edges, yours showed how to pleat them and they looked great: </p> [attach=2581/14/mzto5i.600x450.WP_001802.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-here-make-gyoza#post-1367712 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 15:36:34 +0000 .twist. 1367712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: yum!

I made them today (I made my own wrappers in the end) and they were absolutely gorgeous!!! </p> [attach=2581/14/mztkaf.338x600.gyoza.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-here-make-gyoza#post-1363194 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 07:40:39 +0000 Cherrybee 1363194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Is it easy to make your own wrappers? Could someone who is a TERRIBLE pastry cook manage it, do you think? When I make pies, I always use store bought ready-to-roll pastry....! Do you think I could do it?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-here-make-gyoza#post-1363184 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 07:34:19 +0000 septca 1363184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are better if you make your own wrappers, but the store-bought ones are really fine. I like to do ground pork, cabbage, fresh ginger, a bit if garlic - I mince it all really finely in the food processor and then fill the skins. Once you fill the wrappers, you can freeze them (lay on a cookie sheet until frozen then move to a bag or Tupperware) - makes it worth making your own wrappers if you know you'll have them in your freezer ready to cook whenever you want them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-here-make-gyoza#post-1363166 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 06:57:03 +0000 Cherrybee 1363166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Brilliant, thank you. I will go into town and see what they've got. I will have to use my spring roll wrappers another day!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-here-make-gyoza#post-1363159 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 06:42:32 +0000 spaniellove 1363159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I'm sure you'll find them there! They come in a paler white and a slightly darker color and all I know is one is thicker than the other for frying vs steaming. Or at least that's what I was told growing up, but I can never remember which is which! It never seemed to make much of a difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-here-make-gyoza#post-1363157 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 06:36:28 +0000 Cherrybee 1363157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Brilliant, thank you! That's a much better tutorial than the one I have been looking at, that will really help! I can't find gyoza skins or wonton wrappers in any of our big supermarkets (spring roll wrappers are the best you can get here) but a specialist Chinese supermarket has just opened in our city centre so I wonder if I can get wonton wrappers there....I might take a trip into town and have a look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-here-make-gyoza#post-1363150 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 05:51:29 +0000 spaniellove 1363150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make mandu, which is pretty much the same. You don't have to make your own wrappers but if you can find the right ones it'll taste a lot better! The wrappers should be round, not square. There's a tutorial here:<br /> <a href="http://www.steamykitchen.com/5874-gyoza-recipe-japanese-pan-fried-dumplings.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.steamykitchen.com/5874-gyoza-recipe-japanese-pan-fried-dumplings.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-here-make-gyoza#post-1363145 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 04:46:59 +0000 Cherrybee 1363145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any advice? How do you make yours? </p> <p>I'm going to try my hand at them tomorrow. I want to fill mine with pork mince and cabbage..... I'm a bit nervous as I've never done anything like that before!</p> <p>Also - I have some spring roll wrappers in the freezer, can I use those for skins? Or should I make my own? I'm terrible at making pastry type things!! </p> <p>Thank you. </p>
