a quick and easy gyoza pastry recipe
The following recipe is a guide for making perfect Gyoza pastry. Gyoza are small steamed Chinese dumpling perfect for parties and snacks. While originally Chinese, I think Japanese Gyoza are even more delicious! Gyoza pastry can be bought at any Asian food shop for about £2.00, but it’s a lot quicker to make your own!
Ingredients
- Self Raising Flour 50g
- Strong Flour 50g
- Hot Water 60cc
- Salt 2g
Method
- Mix the self raising flour together with the strong flour.
- Sieve the flour mixture into a bowl to make the flour lighter.
- Add the hot water to the bowl and stir until the mixture becomes cool enough to kneed.
- Kneed the mixture until you can make a ball. Cover the bowl with cellophane and leave at room temperature for 30min.
- Cut the pastry into 25 even pieces and roll each into a circle 8cm wide and 2mm thick. Use corn flour to prevent the pastry and rolling pin sticking.
- Now it’s time to fill the pastry with your Gyoza filling.

Thanks for this recipe! I’ve always wanted to make my own gyoza pastry (or wrappers as we say in the US). Love the new format by the way. It’s amazing.

Hi Marisa, what do you call gyoza in the US? I’ve heard people say ‘pot stickers’ in England

We call them both gyoza and pot-stickers in Michigan.

what is “strong flour”?
Kumiko - 24/07/ 09 @ 6:00 pm
Hi Stephanie, strong flour is bread flour – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_English_food_terms – this is a useful wiki I just found, you can see the different names of food from US, Canada, UK and Australia.

I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for ages and I finally got the time to make it today, it was so yummy and even thought i steamed it in way more water than i needed they turned out perfect. It was so easy to vegetarian-ise it too with fake mince meat and mushroom sauce instead of oyster. making a second batch by request right now! Thanks Kumiko
