Ingredients
1 packet of gyoza / dumpling pastry (from Chinese / Japanese Store)
1 lb peeled prawns (little ones)
1 leek; chopped fine
1 inch ginger; grated
3 clove garlic; mince
1 tbspn light soya sauce
1 tbspn sesame oil
1 tbspn oyster sauce
1 egg
dipping sauce
1/2 cup light soya sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1 tbspn mirin
1 tblspn sesame oil
1 tspn chili flakes
Method
1. Mix together all the filling ingredients.
2. Place a tspn of this mixture on the dumpling pastry, brush the edges of the pastry with water, fold in half, press together, making some pleats in the front of the gyoza. I was able to make about 40.
3. Place the gyoza in a hot, previously sprayed frying pan, cover and cook for about 1 minute, turn and cook for a further minute. Repeat until all the gyoza are fried.
4. Put one layer of gyoza back in the hot pan, add a little water so that it is half way up the gyoza. Cover and cook until the water has evaporated. Repeat until all the gyoza are done.
For the the dipping sauce: mix everything, microwave for about 30 secs so that the sauce is warm.
Serve the dumpling hot with the sauce.
These turned out delcious and were eaten by my family (of 12) with minutes!

Lia, I would gladly make some specially for you, just tell me when you are coming around.
Saju...they look wonderful dear....I don't eat non-verg yet they are indeed tempting :-)
Saju, they look so sppetizing, I am sure your had a bang celebrating the birthday. Looks delicious and healthy with those leeks in it!
Saju, this is so lovely. Reminds me of what I ate when I lived in China... yummy.. yummy.
Have you tried steaming them ? Equally good (less oily). I usually steam them and fry the leftovers the day after (if there are any)...
You know, you can make a simple JIAO ZI (the Chinese name for Chinese dumplings) by combining lukewarm water with twice as much plain white flour.
Saju! oh please, please I want some of those :) they look so good.
