Meat-free Chickpea Gyoza
- 30 grams Chickpeas (dried)
- 120 grams Cabbage (or Chinese cabbage)
- 1/4 Onion
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp Sake
- 1/2 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 tsp Katakuriko
- 1 Pepper
- 1 tbsp Grape seed oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 Sesame oil (for flavouring)
- 12 Gyoza skins
- Preparation: Soak 30 g of chickpeas in water overnight.
- Cook in a pressure cooker until tender (about 5 minutes after the level of the pressure is reached).
- At this point, the chickpeas weigh about 100 g or less.
- Chop the cabbage (or Chinese cabbage) and onion.
- Sprinkle over salt (not listed) and mix lightly.
- Leave to sit until wilted and softened.
- Chop the cores.
- Meanwhile mash the Step 1 chick peas.
- It's alright if there are some inconsistencies remaining.
- Put the cabbage from Step 2 and the onion into a colander and rinse with running water.
- Squeeze the moisture out (after draining).
- Mix Step 4 and the mashed chick peas in a bowl.
- Combine the mixture with your chopsticks.
- Add the seasonings and mix with your hands.
- Check the taste and adjust the seasonings.
- Divide the mixture into portions that are 1 tablespoon or less.
- Shape into small balls (there should be 12).
- Wrap each filling with gyoza wrappers.
- Heat the grape seed oil in a frying pan (or vegetable oil) and arrange the gyoza.
- Fry over medium heat.
- After the bottom of the gyoza are golden brown, pour in enough water to fill the pan up to half the height of the gyoza.
- Cover with a lid and continue to cook over a high heat until the water has evaporated completely.
- This takes about 5 minutes.
- Uncover the lid and drizzle with sesame oil (move around the frying pan to distribute the oil all over).
- Turn off the heat and it's done!
