INGREDIENTS
Vegan Hanetsuki Gyoza (Gyoza with Wings)
Sesame oil for frying
8-10 Gyoza (homemade or store bought)
150ml water
3 tsp plain flour (or potato starch if making gluten free)
METHOD
◾ Place sesame oil in a frying pan on medium heat
◾ Once at temperature, add the frozen gyozas. Place gyozas in a circle, but not touching.
◾ Fry gyozas until the bottoms start to brown
◾ Reduce the temperature to a low heat and whisk together water and flour in a bowl. Pour water mixture into the pan and cover with a lid. Cooking for a further 7-8 minutes
◾ Keep checking your batter to see when it's cooked. You want the water to be mostly evaporated and the edges to start peeling away - you can check this with a chopstick
◾ Take off the lid and turn off the heat. Place a plate over the gyoza and flip over.
