Ingredients
The Dough
White flour, 1 cup
Corn starch, 2 tablespoons
Salt, 1/2 flat teaspoon
Water, 1/2-2/3 cup
The Stuffing
Cabbage, 1/8 medium unit
Salt, 1/2 flat teaspoon
Shiitake mushrooms, 5 average size units
Onion, 1/4 medium unit
Garlic, 1 clove
Soy sauce, 1 tablespoon
Potato flour, 1 flat tablespoon
The Frying
Olive oil, 2 tablespoons
Sesame oil, 1 teaspoon
Boiling water, as needed
Preparation
Dough Preparation:
1. Mix the dry ingredients and add warm water gradually, until you get a comfortable dough and not sticky at all.
2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator (you can wait up to a whole day).
Filling Preparation:
1. Chop the cabbage into small pieces (you can use a slicer).
2. Place the cabbage in a medium bowl and sprinkle with the salt. After 15 minutes, squeeze the cabbage from the liquids and place it in a large bowl.
3. Chop the mushrooms and onion into small pieces, and grate the garlic on a fine grater. Mix all the mushrooms, onion and garlic together with the cabbage in the bowl, add the soy sauce and potato flour, and assimilate them into the vegetables.
Assembly:
1. Divide the dough into 20 equal units. Each of the units rolls into a ball. Roll each thin ball generously on a floured surface. In the center of each circle place 1 tablespoon of stuffing, fold in half and close the edges.
2. In a large pan, place the olive oil and sesame oil for frying, and put on high heat. Put 8 gyoza units in the pan and lower the heat. After 3 minutes, check the bottom of the gyoza, if it is already golden - pour 0.25 cup boiling water into the pan (caution, the meeting of the oil and the water is a bit rough).
3. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5 minutes or until the water evaporates (whichever comes first). Remove the gyoza to a serving plate and repeat the process again until done. A perfect vegan gyoza is obtained!
4. Bon appetite (:
