argh, i tried to fry the steamed gyoza and they stuck to everything
time to look up YTs on how to cook
I fry them in a pan with oil and water and a lid to keep the steam in. Fries the bottom and steams the top.
Yea the witch is right.
Fry.. then put water in the pan, lid on and steam then lid off for a little bit to crisp.
I generally fry from frozen as it gives you more time to not bugger it up :)
I know the advice from everyone is the correct way. An alternative (wrong way) that I use, is popping them in a bamboo steamer, then once they are cooked, I add a bit of oil to a pan and crisp them up at the end.
Either way, yum!
Yes what everyone else said. I'll just add this: Once they're fried on one side, add 1/4 cup of cold water and turn it right down to simmer with a lid on. When the water has evaporated they are ready.
so I basically did everything wrong, okay
I have learnt ๐
thank you all for your help ๐
Um, fry first then steam?
