This is a super quick & easy soup if you have Frozen Dumplings such as Har Gow OR Gyoza. There are authentic ways to cook those Dumplings, but they can be boiled in soup. Add some leafy vegetable of your choice. Today I added Iceberg Lettuce, that goes so well with Prawns and Shrimps. It …
I have recently reviewed my old ‘Vegetarian Gyoza’ recipe, that was made with Tofu and Wombok. Once I thought it was good enough, but I found the texture of the filing was too soft, and I decided to change the recipe. I thought Cabbage would work better than Wombok, then I created a new Vegetarian …
In Australia, there is a Chinese-inspired dumpling-style food called ‘Dim Sim’. Mini Dim Sims, the small version of it, are the same food as ‘Shumai’. There are many different ones these day, such as Beef, Pork, Prawn, Vegetarian, etc. Frozen Mini Dim Sims are available from many supermarket stores. They must be popular. I don’t …
Several years ago, I came across ‘Pierogi’, Polish dumplings, at a local farmer’s market and I instantly fell in love with them. Similar foods can be found in many different countries. Japan has ‘Gyoza’. Italy has ‘Ravioli’ and ‘Tortellini’. Ukraine has ‘Varenyky’. A variety of fillings can be used for ‘Varenyky’. My favourite is definitely …
This ‘Crispy Fried Pork Wontons’ is a perfect finger food for parties. It would be better to wrap Wontons in a simple way, so that it is easy to pick up. Today I just made them into triangles. If you season the filling well, dipping sauces would be unnecessary, but I include two dipping sauce …
I love ‘Prawn Wonton Soup’ and I bet you do. My family members love it too, but they love this ‘Crispy Fried Prawn Wontons’ even more. It is surprisingly easy to make at home and wrapping can be done even by children. These Fried Wontons can be a very popular party food, too. Makes 25 …
As my brother-in-law’s family and good friends of mine turned Vegan last year, I had been trying to create a new Vegan Gyoza recipe using Firm Tofu, but I couldn’t achieve the texture that I was wishing to create. Then, on the other day, to use up leftover Gyoza Wrappers, I made some Gyoza using …
The filling of Spring Rolls doesn’t have to be Asian flavoured. You can actually use anything. I want to introduce Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese. These Spring Rolls are super easy to make and perfect starter or party food. I recommend to cut each square sheet of wrapper into 4 pieces and make small Spring …
For a long time I wanted to cook this ‘Steamed Prawn Dumplings’ but I never tried because I believed that I could not get the ingredients. On the other day I received a request for the recipe, then I did a little bit of research. I discovered that the wrappers can be made with a …
Everyone loves Gyoza. It’s a great fun family activity to make them, too. My children always wanted to help me making them when they were very young, but traditional wrapping method was too difficult for young children. These Rolled Gyoza are easy to make. Instead of wrapping them, just roll them up! Today I used …
I assume that many of you love popular Chinese snack ‘Spring Rolls’ but never tried to make them yourself. I actually don’t like store-bought Spring Rolls because they are very oily. Spring Rolls are easy to make and I bake them in the oven. They are much healthier. The filling can be anything you like. …
If you can’t eat wheat flour and have given up eating Gyoza because of that, you might wish to try this alternative. Instead of wrapping the filling with Gyoza wrappers, I sandwiched the filling with ‘Abura-age’, Fried Thin Tofu. This recipe includes a very basic Pork filling, but you can find more Gyoza filling recipes …
