vegetarian gyoza


Really more-ish gyoza!

Ingredients :
150 g tofu (approximately, I just use about 1/3rd of 1 pack of dried tofu)
1/3 cup of kimchi (depends on how spicy your kimchi is, start with less, you could always add more)
1 pack of gyoza skin, it's really important to get the right gyoza skin, the round white ones, not the yellow square ones.
a few drops of sesame oil
a pinch of salt
olive oil / coconut oil for frying

blitz everything -except the gyoza skin- in a small food processor
put 1 tsp of filling in the middle of wrapper, wet the rim, and fold the gyoza, you could do basic half circle, or fan shaped ones
when you're down to your last 3 wrapping job to do, heat 1 tsp oil in a frying pan
pan fry the gyoza for 3o seconds, or until the skin turns golden and a bit crunchy
flip the gyoza, and add 1/4 cup of water
watch out, the pan might sizzle, cover the pan, to let the steam cooked the filling for 1 - 2 minutes
take the lid of the pan to let the steam out and the gyoza to dry up a bit
transfer to plate

Here, I serve my gyoza with a side of soba noodles and diced avocado.
Simple side, to let the gyoza shine, they are the star anyway :)
