Gyozas are little, half moon shaped dumplings made out of a hot water, wheat flour pastry and stuffed with pork, chicken and vegetables. They are generally steamed before being crisped up in a pan and served with a dipping sauce. We think of Gyozas as being Japanese, in fact they actually originated in China but were adopted by the Japanese as they are soooooo good.
We have three varieties of gyoza for you to try, Chicken & Vegetable, Pork and Vegetable. Each pack contains 30 dumplings. We have a short video on how to cook the gyoza with a recipe for a simple dipping sauce. The sharp tang of pickled kimchi served alongside would be a really great addition.
Serves 6 (5pcs per person)
Your choice of Gyoza
Ingredients for the dipping sauce
3tbsp Soy Sauce
3tbsp Hamadaya dai Aso Mirin
1tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
1/2tbsp Sesame Oil
1 Garlic Clove, finely grated
1 Thumb-sized piece of Ginger, finely grated
1 Red Chilli, finely chopped
This couldn't be simpler. The gyoza are cooked straight from frozen so start by steaming them for 5 minutes - it's worth rubbing a little oil inside your steaming basket if you have a stainless steel one, just to stop them sticking.
Whilst they're in the steamer, you've easily enough time to whip up the quick dipping sauce. There are loads of variations on this sauce, I love the warmth you get from the ginger and chilli and the mirin provides a lovely sweetness. Simply combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and whisk them together.
After 5 minutes, the gyoza would have plumped up a little. You can eat them straight from the steamer however, we really love them crisped up a little in a hot frying pan with a drizzle of oil for a couple of minutes on each side.
That's it, try not to devour them too quickly.

Bulgogi is one of the most famous dishes from Korea, it's seriously tasty. Made using thinly sliced strips of beef that are marinated in soy, garlic, ginger and sesame along with pureed fruit. Bulgogi is a pretty versatile dish, often stir-fried with onion and eaten simply with rice and a few garnishes, in a kind of bibimbap style.
Cauliflower is such a great vegetable for delivering flavour with it's sweet nutty taste and firm texture, it's a perfect choice for when you want to be meat free. Roasting it with a light batter gives it a lovely crispy texture and allows you to layer up more flavour.
The tacos that you find on every Mexican street corner are often cooked really quickly - it's street food, you can't hang about. We have a recipe that will allow you to make really quick authentic tacos, that are so tasty, it will become your 'go to' meal.

I love making and eating dumplings but don’t always have the wrappers to hand. I decided to try the frozen gyoza as I have yet to perfect them from scratch! Needless to say I will never bother to try and make them again! They were so easy to cook. Instant food for unexpected guests!
I am also excited to see I can get the wrappers from the Somerset foodie now but I might try the frozen steamed dumplings first!
