Directions
- Satisfy your taste buds with a delightful journey into the world of sweet potato and tofu gyoza. These mouthwatering dumplings, brimming with flavor, are a culinary masterpiece that deserves a place at your table. Let’s dive into the steps to create this sensational dish.
- Roasting the Sweet Potato
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C for fan ovens) or Gas Mark 6.
- Place the whole sweet potato on a baking tray and bake it in its skin for 45-60 minutes. This process enhances its natural sweetness.
- Once the sweet potato has cooled slightly, scoop out the flesh, discarding the skin. Mash the flesh in a bowl or pass it through a potato ricer. Set it aside.
- Preparing the Gyoza Filling
- Combine the mashed sweet potato with tofu, spring onions, water chestnuts, chili, miso paste, ginger, garlic, shichimi, salt, white pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix these ingredients thoroughly.
- Cut the Chinese cabbage leaves into four strips and finely shred them. Add the shredded cabbage to the mixture.
- Incorporate four tablespoons of panko breadcrumbs and mix again. If the mixture seems a bit loose, add another spoonful of panko crumbs.
- Cover the bowl with cling film and allow it to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. This time in the refrigerator helps firm up the mixture.
- Preparing the Dough for Wrappers
- In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients for the dough.
- Gradually add water and oil, mixing thoroughly with a spoon.
- Knead the mixture into a smooth dough for 1-2 minutes with your hands. Adjust with a little more water or flour if necessary.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and chill it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll one piece into a rope and cut it into seven pieces.
- Rolling Out the Gyoza Wrappers
- Dust your countertop with tapioca flour.
- Flatten each piece with your hand, covering the others with cling film to prevent drying.
- Roll out the dough until it’s approximately 2 mm thin. You can use a cutter or glass to create rounds (about 3 1/2 inches or 9 cm in diameter) for potsticker/gyoza wrappers.
- Repeat this process with all the dough pieces, covering them with cling film to retain moisture.
- Cooking the Gyoza
- Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over high heat.
- Add the gyoza to the pan, ensuring they have enough space and aren’t overcrowded.
- Fry them for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown. Be cautious, as they can burn quickly.
- Add 100ml of water to the pan and cover it with a lid. Steam the dumplings for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove the lid, shake the pan to release the gyoza, and cook for another 2 minutes until the filling is thoroughly cooked.
- Drizzle a touch of sesame oil around the edges of the pan and give it a good shake.
- Keep the cooked gyoza warm while you prepare the remaining batches.
- Serve the gyoza immediately, accompanied by a delectable dipping sauce.
- Embark on a culinary adventure and relish the savory goodness of sweet potato and tofu gyoza. These delectable dumplings are perfect for sharing with loved ones or savoring on your own. Enjoy the delightful flavors and textures that await you in each bite.
