Better late then never - been behind in posts...
The June challenge was to make Gyoza (Japanese dumplings) - Hosted by Jen from use real butter
This was a fun challenge, I steamed a batch, and tried to burn my house down with the other. It's difficult to have a conversation with 4 people when attempting to cook. flames flew fromthe pan and almost got my arm.

This was a fun challenge, I steamed a batch, and tried to burn my house down with the other. It's difficult to have a conversation with 4 people when attempting to cook. flames flew fromthe pan and almost got my arm.
I made a filling of pork, chicken, wasabi, cabbage, onion, carrots, and garlic. The wrappers were easy to make. On the seond batch of wrappers, I added a tablespoon of powdered wasabi to the dough. Next time I will add two or three. You could smell the wasabi, but it was not very present in the dough.

That's the batch that tried to kill me. Make sure you reduce the heat when you add liquid to a tightly packed pan that is searing with oil. I made a total mess with that one. I think I'll stick with steaming from now on.
for the dipping sauce, I used soy, rice wine vinegar, and sriracha. It was quite pleasant.

Glad to hear you survived the ordel - apart from the fire - sounds like you enjoyed it. WOW powdered wasabi you are really into MC! The pan full of dumplings look mighty fine to me and the cooked version have a nice sheen to them. Great work on this challenge. Cheers from Audax in Australia
They look great! I love your idea of adding the wasabi powder to the dough. I must try that.
I really like the idea of using wasabi in the filling and dough. Not entirely sure about the carrots, but I might just try those out next time I make these beauties.
My gosh, I hope you are okay after the fire! You made some beautiful potstickers and dumplings. Great job on the challenge :) Wasabi sounds great too!!
