How to Make Gyoza Wrappers (Recipe) 餃子の皮の作り方（レシピ）

[@truthseeker1328]

As a kid my mom and dad would commit us kids for an entire Saturday to make gyozas in mass and from scratch. Yes the wrappers and the filling were all "processed" in mom's kitchen. We used an old hand meat grinder to grind the pork (ground pork wasn't available in our local grocery stores) and Chinese (napa) cabbage into a large bowl then add minced garlic, shiitake mushrooms, nira (garlic chives), minced green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Then mixed together. In the mean time, my younger brothers with my mom were busy making the dough for the wrappers then roll the dough out in thin layers and cut with a large round cookie cutter. After everything was ready, we'd form an assembly line where the first person would grab a wrapper and apply a water and corn starch mixture to the perimeter. The prepared wrapper skin would be passed to the next person to have a tablespoon of meat filling placed inside, the third person's job was to fold and crimp the wrapper edges together and place on a cookie tray. This got monotonous, so we'd swap out positions. After we've made a couple of hundred (yes at least 200), my mom would freeze most of them for later but we'd have a wonderful fresh made gyoza dinner that night. My mom being Japanese preferred the gyoza's lightly pan fried while my dad being from China loved them boiled, so we'd always have them both ways at dinner time. I recently lost my dear mom but every time my wife and I have store bought gyozas or other Japanese food for dinner, they help bring back some wonderful memories from my childhood and especially of my mom.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's very touching. Your mom being Japanese (me) and dad being Chinese (mr. JOC), you're the same position as my children. Hope one day they will remember my cooking and learn from me before I go... Your mom's homemade gyoza should pass onto the next generation! You have such a wonderful memory with your mom. Food memory is so strong and stays inside us. The taste, smell, the look... all stays in a very special place in our heart!

[@nadiabello866]

You are a great story teller! Brought tears to my eyes. Although I am not Asian, I believe our cuisine in every culture is a way to connect with previous generations and those to come. Thank you for sharing.

This made me cry. Thanks for sharing this =) Much Love =)

This was extremely beautiful. Now that it's quarantine for us all these little moments are even more valuable. Thanks for blessings us with your precious story.

Thank you for your kind words. :)

Steve Santillan Well said!

God smiles on everyone who passed down the old skills of our ancestors. My memory is of Mom and my aunts making wrappers for vareniki, Russian gyoza. My wife, from Taiwan, makes dumplings virtually the same way that you do, the way my Mom made vareniki, pierogis, in our family called pirshkas. Your channel is a delight, thanks, take care.

[@sarahaz4151]

Those measurements make approximately 24-25 pieces

Can you tell me the measurements for like at least 60 pieces?

[@vivelajonny]

@@omarsito_21 can you not do math lol

[@Oksanaastankova]

Made the round dough pieces a little thinner and ended up with more than 40 pieces. Was worried the thin dough won't hold up the filling but they turned out great and delicious, this is my 2nd time making them, thank you for sharing the recipe!

[@harleypotter6813]

I was thinking how different could it be between handmade and store bought wrappers and why waste so much muscle and effort to make them. But then I actually tried making it from scratch and OMG, I've stopped buying store bought wrappers since then. Handmade wrappers are truly life changing 👍

[@estherin1031]

Hi Namiko-san, I've followed your videos for quite some time now and finally got the courage to try and make one of your recipes. My wife and kid loved the gyoza, thanks for your videos.

[@randomperson4683]

I followed these steps, the instructions were easy but for a first timer gyoza maker it was hella not easy! It was very strenous! But after tasting my cooked gyoza oh boy it was so good even my picky family who'll gordon ramsey any cooking approves! My dad even had seconds for my taste test! It was all worth it!!

[@alexlaris5069]

I just want to say thank you. I did them and I impressed my family, they were absolutely amazing

[@AHasnaa193]

I've try gyoza many times.. but these were the best Thank you for the recipe

[@Gosuutou]

This was 1 of the most delicious things I've cooked. Lets hope my GF likes it too. Great vid!

[@justonecookbook]

Thank you for trying my recipe!

[@ChadGardenSinLA]

You're so smart! Many of us don't have dumpling dough so SIFTING is key to getting the right texture for all purpose flour. Many Thanks!!

[@jarlo_marz8]

So simple !! Never buying pre-made ones again!! 😱and that music ☺️☺️🤭💋💋

[@Reizermo]

I just made these using this video. Mine aren't symmetrical at all. But I don't think that matters too much. You make it look soooo easy. Thanks

[@gaahsb]

I've just made those combined with the pork and cabbage stuffing that you made in the other gyoza video. It turned out to be one of the best things i've learned to cook! Thank you very much.

[@homesweetcooking939]

you are one of the best celebrtiy chef on the globe, thank you...when i search japanese foods your channel always has the recipes, and i have tried many of your foods, they are delicious ! keep the good work ! i will support !

[@Myko_Room]

Hi Nami san! Just made gyozas using your wrapper and filling recipes. It's hard work but worth it I would recommend making the wrappers thinner.

[@TheDarrenO]

Really awesome! I just started making my own gyoza and siomai but was using store bought wrappers which are 'iffy' sometimes they are dried out and the store is far from my house. I thought I'd learn to make the wrappers and this is the first video I came across. I figured there wasn't much to making them and I was right. Thank you for presenting a great instructional video and also for the pleasant music. ))

[@2SCAKEBOUTIQUE]

Hi Namiko, I had tried ur recipe and the result is super!!!! Really nice. Thanks for sharing!

[@Hyjeena]

I have no access to asian shops anywhere near me, so gyoza wrappers are something I can never buy. I have to go several hundred kilometers if I want to shop asian ingredients. Some things like oils, spices and sauces can handle the way home but the frozen section is off limits because of the distance. So I make my own gyoza/wonton wrappers. This recipe is really good, makes a really good dough and when kneaded enough it’s really smooth and elastic. I use a pasta machine to get it thin.

[@214vb1]

very easy to watch, and easy to learn, visual is the best, we are going to make them ,,

Nice music.

I enjoyed watching it.. And i love the music it made my mind so peaceful..

[@robineaken4524]

Thanks for the video! Because my family has gluten allergies, we can’t use store bought wrappers so thanks for the video!

[@choxdust3025]

This taste delicious and quite easy enough to make. I do have a problem with storing my already pre-cut dough in the fridge. I find that in the morning the wrapper sticks together because of moisture. I don't understand why since it's place in a tight container. I just cut the dough again in the morning which takes effort.

[@choxdust3025]

I'll try your suggestion and store them in the freezer. And, yes, you're super right that they stick together even when I placed a bunch of potato starch in between. But really delicious though. It's so moist and tasty that even though it takes effort, I keep making them. Thanks for sharing. ^_^

[@XRagnouX]

thank you so much nami, i'm gonna try now ! :)

[@AnkitaMalviya108]

thank you for the vedio💐

[@pokieste]

Wow! So simple! Thank you for sharing!

[@Rooiku]

that is so much easier than I thought it would be. I wonder why all other recipies just say "buy gyoza wrappers" if it's that simple to make.

[@justonecookbook]

Haha, it's simple, but it takes some time, so I often use premade one when I don't have much time. :)

[@nicolegeorgine9493]

How thin should these be rolled? I can’t find gyoza wrappers locally to me so I’d love to try making them!

[@spenz466]

Hi. I wanted to make gyoza but i bought the wrong wrapper (rice paper for fresh spring rolls) so i think i will try this one from your video, hope I succeed... thanks for sharing 🙂

[@viennatokyo]

Thank you so much!!! We couldn’t find any gyoza wrappers that would arrive soon so this really helped. Will these store in the fridge for four days??? Thanks again.

[@nadiabello866]

Thank you. Very well explained.

[@salliesmotion6767]

Wow thank u for the tutorials i want to make my own version to, I just only buy wrapper in the super market.full support here.

Can i use flour instead of potato starch to sprinkle on work surface?

Sure that's okay! :)

[@MiloMontang]

can i keep the rest dough for some hours before rolling them out again?

[@twistedsim]

just tried it! awesome recipe, the dough was nice and smooth. Note that you may need to adjust the quantity of water a bit (±50mL)

[@justonecookbook]

Thank you so much for trying this recipe. Yes, water will vary depends on the weather and climate in your kitchen. :)

[@rogermatildo780]

Hi Ms Namiko Chen, first of all I really thank you for posting very interesting videos..i like the way you film, it's easy to watch and understand...not boring.. By the way, can i ask some favor?? Can you post video on how to cook/prepare Japanese Ramen? I am a big fan of ramen..I can eat ramen for the rest of my life. lol..(just saying) ANyway, thank you in advance.. Wishing you more success..

Wonderful music

[@woodenpudden]

After you have all of the ingredients together, do you boil them first or just straight away fry them? Looks unreal by the way, yummy yum yums.

[@zuhurapakeer8920]

Nami Chan, is it ok to use the bread maker to knead the dough? Thank you
