Family Recipe: Steamed Gyoza

My cousin Renelle gave us this recipe several years ago and it is delicious!  As I was going through my recipes and menu I realized it has been awhile since we have made Gyoza in our house, I think it is time to make them again.   Renelle is an amazing cook and comes up with some really creative, fun, and unique recipes.  Steamed Gyoza is a Japenese Steamed Dumpling.  If you like dumplings and are looking for something different yet delicious you should try this recipe!  Go ahead try something a little interesting this weekend.  You may discover a new recipe you love!  Thanks Renelle for giving us some many amazing new recipes to enjoy!

Steamed Gyoza

• 1/2 lb ground Pork or Beef
• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
• 2 tablespoon Water
• 3 Shitake Mushrooms, finely chopped (optional)
• 3 tablespoons Green Onion
• 4 Water Chestnuts, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Rice Wine or Sherry
• 1 package Gyoza or Wonton Skins
• 1-2 eggs well-beaten (you can just use water)

Mix all ingredients together except skins and eggs.  Take one wonton skin, place about 1 T of the mixture in the middle of the skin and wrap skin around the filling.  Seal the edges with the egg or with water.  Place in veggie steamer so edges are not touching.  Steam for 7-10 minutes.  You can also fry them in a pan if desired.  Serve warm with soy sauce, sweet and sour, or plum sauce.
