Chicken gyoza



Gyoza is chinese style of chicken dumpling. Although it is really famous in japan, I had never tasted gyoza (before) since it's usually made from chicken or pork. 

One day, after watching one of cooking program in TV, K-man wanted to make gyoza. He's a good cook, so just I helped him a bit (hehe), especially when forming gyoza (put some filling onto a piece of gyoza dough and close each gyoza in a certain way). I was pretty much surprised. 

At first, I thought gyoza was very similar to siomay (popular style of chicken/fish dumpling in Indonesia). But at least it has two major difference, i.e., gyoza has chopped cabbage inside of it (while siomay doesn't), and gyoza is cooked by frying and steaming.
See this recipe (or this, in Indonesian) for better description.

Don't forget to dip it into the dipping sauce (soya sauce + rayu/chili oil + sesame). Ummm..
oishikatta :)
