Unrelated, but it's starting to feel like a gyoza day. :beaten:

LOL. I can say none of the above. <bubbles in the letter D on the Scantron>

Trust me they're better. ^_^

I'll bet. :victory:

America's Test Kitchen had an episode where they made gyoza... One of these days :rolleyes:, I'll try it.

Oh really? That's cool. I bet if I tried it I'd be all thumbs....HAHA. I know they do sell trays of gyoza filling already ground up and mixed at the Mitsuwa in Torrance. All you gotta do is buy the skins and artfully kneed the dough...and then inhale your finished product. :beaten:

Of course, the ones they made on the show were more pot sticker-like in shape than gyoza-like... :sweat:

If I had to make gyoza my lame ass would use this:

Bandai Gyoza Maker

Gyozas, like empanadas, dumplings, or knishes, consist of a stuffing (usually ground meat and spices) wrapped in a thin piece of dough (a "gyoza skin" here in the States) that is then deep-fried, pan-fried, or steamed. They can be a little tricky, because if they're not sealed airtight they can explode in mid-fry, spraying burning hot oil and gyoza insides everywhere. This gadget looks to automate the process for a perfect seal.

It may not be the most versatile of kitchen gadgets, but if you're doing a huge batch of gyozas and are some kind of wuss who fears horrible oil burns, we could see it being pretty handy. It's Japan-only for now, but we're sure an import kitchen supply store would have this or a similar device

^ Why am I not surprised that such a device exists? :rofl:

Com'on man, it's the Japanese! They have a device for everything! But you already knew that :)

Haha... This gyoza maker just reinforces that statement. :hehe:

Panko needs a different texture from regular breadcrumbs. Toshi used to get French bread specifically for that.

But teriyaki? I think tempura is the word, ne?
