Chicken Gyoza Recipe

Chicken Gyoza

Gyoza (餃子) are Chinese dumplings made with meat and vegetables wrapped in round pasta-like flour skins and then pan-fried.  Gyoza are originally based on Chinese fried dumplings, but they are now a popular and well-rooted part of Japanese cuisine today.  Recently, really authentic Chinese food called “Gachi-Chuka” is becoming very popular in Japan, but Gyoza is the opposite end of the spectrum. Japanese Gyoza have changed through time to accommodate the preferred taste of Japanese people and have, like Ramen, really become part of Japanese food.

Karaage Recipe

Karaage

Karaage (唐揚げ) is Japanese-style fried chicken (two words: kara age).  It is a great appetizer to go with drinks, a kid (and adult) friendly dinner entree, and also a perfect item for a Bento lunch box.  Japanese Karaage is usually seasoned with garlic and ginger along with soy sauce, coated lightly with flour, and deep fried.  Because it’s fried in oil, Karaage may not be the healthiest Japanese food, but it’s certainly a very popular dish in Japan.

Chicken and Cheese Harumaki (egg roll) Recipe

Chicken and Cheese Harumaki (egg roll)

Harumaki egg roll is a deep-fried packet filled with shredded meat and vegetables, and one of the most popular Chinese foods in Japanese cuisine.  In this recipe, instead of shredded meat and vegetables, we stuffed cooked chicken breast, cheese, and fragrant Shiso leaves.  It is so much simpler to make Chicken and Cheese Harumaki time-wise (and also “number of ingredient”-wise). These Harumaki are a perfect entree for everyday dinner as well as a great appetizer item for parties.
