​

Let’s make gyoza, Japan’s favorite dumpling!

Adapted from the Chinese dumpling Jiaozi, the soft dough wrapper with a savory meat or vegetarian filling is not hard to make.  Pinch-Pleat-Repeat as you form perfect crescents.  We will make two gyoza dishes: pan-fried with a crispy bottom to be eaten with a dipping sauce. The other is Gyoza Nabe which is adding the uncooked savory pillows to a simmering pot of winter vegetables.

 

Homemade dipping sauces will be part of the menu.

​

A full list of ingredients, recipes, and instructions will be sent the week of the class.

​

This class will be taught by Debra Samuels, lead curriculum and recipe developer for Wa-Shokuiku, a program of TABLE FOR TWO USA. Debra is an author of two cookbooks and co-author of Japanese Cooking for Kids, TFT’s new cookbook, and the 2020 recipient of the John E. Thayer III Award for Outstanding Contributions to Cultural Exchange Between the United States and Japan.
