Rose dumplings 餃子ローズ
Rose dumplings combine pork, cabbage, and green shallots wrapped delicately in gyoza wrappers arranged in a rose shape. The filling is seasoned with ginger juice, sake, soy sauce, and sesame oil to give it a balanced savory flavor. These dumplings are pan-fried with water added for steaming, resulting in a slightly crisp bottom with a tender, juicy interior. The folded wrappers create a visually appealing and delicious bite sized dumpling suitable for a special appetizer or meal addition.
Ingredients
- 32 gyoza wrappers *1
- 200 g pork mince
- 150 g cabbage
- 2 tbs shallots green, chopped
- 1 tsp ginger juice
- 1 tbs sake *2
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp salt
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tbs sesame oil
- 1/4 cup of water
Instructions
- Chop the cabbage and green shallots finely. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of salt over it and leave it for about 5 minutes.
- Squeeze out the excess water from the cabbage and shallots. Place them in a mixing bowl. *3
- Add the pork mince and all sauces to the bowl and mix them together till the mince becomes a bit sticky.
- Place one wrapper on a chopping board and wet one side edge with water and overwrap with another wrapper.
- Repeat the same with two more wrappers (altogether 4).
- Spoon about a heaped teaspoon amount of the pork mixture onto the centre of each gyoza wrapper.
- Wet the edge of the wrappers with water with your finger and fold them in half from the right-hand side.
- Seal and close up the gyoza wrapper firmly and roll them up from one side.
- Wet the end of one side of the gyoza rose to close the gyoza. Repeat this step with 28 wrappers to make 8 gyoza roses altogether.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat and place the gyoza in the pan and let the bottom of the rose brown.
- Pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan and put a lid on it to steam the gyoza for about 5 minutes.
- Take the lid off and let the water evaporate. Turn off the heat and serve the gyoza on a plate.
Notes
- Use either store-bought or homemade gyoza wrappers for best results.
- Substitute sake with Chinese cooking wine or dry sherry if necessary.
- Remove excess moisture thoroughly from the cabbage and shallots, especially if freezing dumplings, to prevent sogginess.
