Gyoza Wrappers

If you cannot readily buy gyoza wrappers, here is an easy recipe for making your own. Use them in our recipe for Veggie ‘Pork’ Gyozas.

Makes 16 wrappers

Ingredients:

• 1 c all purpose flour (plus flour for the kneading process)
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 c warm water

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, blend the flour and salt.
2. Add the water a little at a time until you have a cohesive, slightly sticky dough.
3. Knead in the bowl for a few minutes, adding a sprinkle of flour as needed.
4. Cover and allow to stand 15 minutes before rolling.
5. Using a rolling pin, roll on a floured surface until the dough looks like a thin pie crust. Cut with a three-inch biscuit cutter. Dust each gyoza disk with flour and set aside. Re-roll the scraps of dough and cut the remaining gyoza wrappers.
6. To fill, place a rounded teaspoon of filling in each center, moisten edges and fold in half. Press the edges together tightly or pleat them by making a few folds in the sealed edges.
