Ginger and prawn gyozas recipe
- 150 g (5.3oz) minced chicken
- 300 g (10.6oz) raw prawns, chopped
- 1 tsp finely chopped fresh root ginger
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp light soy sauce
- 2 tsp dry sherry
- 18 slices of white bread, crusts removed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
- 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup soy sauce, chopped red chilli and fresh coriander, to serve
- In a large bowl, mix the chicken, prawns, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce and sherry.
- Fry a spoonful of the mix in a large frying pan and taste it to check the seasoning, then add salt and pepper accordingly to the uncooked mixture.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the slices of bread until thin.
- Cut each slice into a circle by cutting off the corners, or using a very large cookie cutter.
- Spoon a dollop of the mix into the centre of the bread.
- Dab beaten egg onto the edges of the bread with your fingers, then fold together to make a parcel.
- Heat a couple of inches of oil in a sturdy saucepan to around 180C.
- Test the heat either with a cooking thermometer or by chucking in a small piece of bread it should brown quite gently, rather than instantly.
- Deep-fry the gyozas for about 3 minutes, until golden brown.
- Drain on kitchen paper, sprinkle with salt and serve with soy sauce mixed with a little chopped red chilli.
