Dry-Fried Tuna and Negi Gyoza
Chopped tuna and negi in bought wrappers, browned in a dry pan with no water at all.
Ingredients
- 10 Dumpling wrappers
- 150 g Tuna
- ⅜ Japanese leek (negi)
- 8 g Ginger
- 1 tsp Light soy sauce
- 2 tsp Toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp Chili oil
- 1 tbsp Neutral oil
- 25 g Firm tofu (optional)
- 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional)
Method
- Slice the negi into fine rings, grate the ginger and crumble the tofu.
- Chop the tuna to a coarse dice with a heavy knife and fold it through the negi, ginger and tofu with the soy and half the sesame oil. Keep the pieces distinct — worked to a paste the fish goes chalky in the pan.
- Fill each wrapper, wet the rim and pleat it closed down one side, standing them pleat-up on a tray.
- Heat the neutral oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high and set the gyoza in flat-side down. Cook them dry, with no water and no lid: raw tuna needs seconds rather than steam, and a splash of water here would only slacken the wrappers.
- Tip them onto their sides and roll them through the pan until the wrappers everywhere have gone translucent and blistered.
- Slide them out browned side up, spoon over the chilli oil and the rest of the sesame oil and scatter the sesame seeds.
