Homemade Gyoza Wrappers with Kitchenaid

Gyoza Wrappers w KitchenAid Stand mixer

Serving Size

about 12 to 15 gyoza wrappers

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

30 minutes

Total Time

45 minutes

Ingredients

100g cake flour/plain flour (T45)
1/3 tsp fine salt
1/2 tbsp rice flour (optional)
50ml boiled water

Instructions

1. Add flour, salt and rice flour into a large bowl and stir well. Add hot water and stir with a rubber spatula. Then knead the dough by hand for about 1 to 2 minutes until it gets smooth. You can shape it into a ball.
2. Let the dough sit in the bowl for about 15 min, covered with a damp cloth.
3. Remove the bowl of your stand mixer and attach the pasta roller to it.
4. Take some of the dough (about 1/3), shape into an oval. Flatten it and dust it with flour on both sides.
5. Feed the dough through the pasta roller (setting 1 - thickest), at least 3 to 5 times or until the dough is smooth. Turn dial to the thickness setting 3 or 4 and run the dough through once or twice. Repeat (once or twice) at each following position until you reach setting 8. The target thickness really depends on your own preference. I like thin skin, so I roll it until setting 8 :)
6. Lay the rolled out sheet of dough on a cutting board and cut it out, using a circle cookie cutter (8~9cm diameter suggested). Dust the cut out wrappers with katakuriko/potato starch and set aside. Repeat as many times as you can.
Gather all the scrap dough, put it all together and re-roll it a few times until it becomes thin layers again.

Notes

I usually make 300g for 5 people.

Steamed pork and shrimp dumpling (ha gow dim-sum)

Ingredients

- Ingredient A -

200g shrimp - raw shrimp/rinsed, peeled and chopped (300g if you don't want to put pork.)
150g boneless pork loin - finely chopped
150g leek - finely chopped
20g fresh ginger (or 1 tsp ginger powder)
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp fine salt
1/2 tbsp cooking white wine or japanese cooking sake
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp katakuriko/potato starch

For the dough

200g wheat starch
40g tapioca flour or starch
1 tsp fine salt
250g boiled water

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling In a large bowl, add all the ingredient "A" and mix everything together until well combined. Now cover it and refrigerate until your dough is ready.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the dough ingredients (wheat starch, tapioca starch and salt). Slowly stir in the boiling water. Mix and knead using a spatula. Then when the dough is cool enough to handle, knead the dough for a couple of minutes with your hands until it turns into a smooth dough ball shape.
3. Roll the dough into a long cylinder, and cut it into equal pieces (each about 12~13g). Cover the dough pieces with a damp cloth or paper towel to prevent it from drying out while you make the dumplings.
4. Put it all together Take one piece of the dough and flatten it using a kitchen tool (I used a dough scraper). Then roll the dough into about 8cm diameter discs using a rolling pin. Add a spoonful of filling. Lift the edge of the wrapper and fold it over the filling. Make some pleats using your fingers and pinch the edges to close the dumpling. Continue making dumplings until you use up all the dough.
5. Now steam the dumplings for about 15 minutes, or until the wrappers turn translucent.
Serve with soy sauce or chili sauce!
