INGREDIENTS
 

Filling:

  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and double the vegetables.
  • 9 ounces/250 grams ground chicken, breast or thigh
  • 1 small white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small carrot, finely grated
  • 5 ounces/150 grams white cabbage, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Dough:

  • 1 ⅔ cups/200 grams all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup/100 milliliters boiling water
  • A pinch of salt

Sauce:

  • 5 tablespoons/70 grams unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 stalk fresh lemongrass, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon yuzu juice

Chili Oil:

  • 3 ½ tablespoons/50 milliliters vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon crushed chili flakes
  • 1 clove garlic, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the white onion, cabbage, carrot, and garlic until softened and the moisture evaporates, about 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a bowl. Add ground chicken, green onion, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerate.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, boiling water, and salt. Knead for 7 to 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes. Roll out thinly with a pasta machine or rolling pin, then cut into circles.
  • Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Lightly moisten the edges with water, fold, and pinch to create small pleats forming the classic chicken gyoza shape.
  • In a pan over medium heat, warm a little oil. Add garlic and lemongrass and cook until fragrant. Stir in sugar, miso, soy sauce, and yuzu juice until smooth. Gradually add cold butter, stirring continuously to create a silky emulsion.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, combine garlic, chili flakes, soy sauce, and sugar. Pour the hot oil over the mixture and stir to combine.
  • Heat a little oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Arrange the chicken gyoza in a single layer and cook until the bottoms are golden and crispy. Pour in a few tablespoons of water, cover, and steam for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook until the water evaporates and the bottoms crisp up again.
  • Spread the miso butter sauce on a plate, arrange the chicken gyoza on top, and drizzle with chili oil. Finish with a scattering of green onions and serve immediately.
