Equipment
Ingredients
for 24 wrappers
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 150 ml boiled water
- cornstarch or potato starch | for dusting
- plastic wrap
Instructions
- Prepare the dough - Place the flour in a mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer.
- Boil water and dissolve the salt in it. Gradually add the salted water to the flour, mixing constantly. Add water only until the dough is no longer dry. You may not need all the water depending on your flour. The dough should not be wet.
- Shape the dough - Roll the dough into a long log about 3-4 cm (1.5 inches) in diameter. Cut the log in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Divide and shape - After resting, cut each log into 2 smaller logs, then cut each smaller log into 6 pieces, making 24 pieces total.
- Roll each piece into a ball.
- Roll out the wrappers - Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle about 1 mm thick. Use the cookie cutter to cut a neat 8 cm (3.2 inch) circle.
- Dust each side with cornstarch or potato starch to prevent sticking.
- Prevent drying - While you work, keep any dough pieces and finished wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
Notes
1. No mixer? You can knead the dough by hand if you don’t have an electric mixer, but it may take longer.
2. Larger gyoza: for bigger wrappers, use a larger cookie cutter.
3. Storing leftover wrappers: if you have wrappers left after making gyoza, separate each wrapper with parchment paper, place them in a zip-top bag, and freeze. Defrost in the fridge before use.
