- 150 g Edamame
- 12 g Dried shiitake
- 10 Dumpling wrappers
- 8 g Ginger
- 2 tsp Toasted sesame oil
- 2 tsp Neutral oil
- 80 g Green cabbage (optional)
- 50 g Carrot (optional)
- 2 tsp Light soy sauce (optional)
- 15 g Scallions (optional)
Method
- Cover the dried shiitake with just-boiled water and leave them twenty minutes, until the caps are pliable all the way to the stem. Keep the soaking liquid.
- Shred the cabbage very fine, salt it lightly and leave it in a colander to weep while everything else comes together.
- Crush the edamame roughly with a fork so about half stay whole — blitzed smooth the filling turns pasty. Grate the carrot and the ginger into it.
- Squeeze the cabbage dry in your fist, chop the soaked mushrooms small and fold both into the edamame with the sesame oil, the soy and a spoon of the mushroom soaking liquid.
- Damp the rim of each wrapper, sit a spoon of filling in the middle and pleat one side only, pressing it against the flat side so the gyoza sits upright.
- Stand them flat-bottomed in the neutral oil over medium heat for three minutes until the bases are golden, then pour in enough water to come a finger's width up the pan and cover at once. Seven minutes, until the water has gone and the wrappers are translucent.
- Turn them out crisp side up and scatter the sliced spring onion over the top.
