Made gyoza for the first time tonight, turned out far better than I thought it would. Took a bit of prep work, but was far cheaper and tastier than the frozen stuff from the supermarket. Even got two thumbs up from the four year old, and the seven year old went back for seconds.
We occasionally (because of all the work) make Chinese style pan fried dumplings (TBH I'm not too sure of the difference between them and gyoza but the recipe we follow says Chinese). We make the casings from scratch as well. The kids generally just eat the casings 🤷.
Oh, except the 3yo that just wanted to drink the soy sauce on it's own.
We do them with bought wrappers every now and then - my 12 year old is a big fan and has got the pleating down pat now. We've done them from scratch once before - never again lol
