If You have tried gaze in the restaurant, I will tell You one thing: homemade is much tastier!

Cooking

Well, let's start to prepare our gaze. Prepare the stuffing: mix several types of meat, crumble it well with your hands, add the sugar, soy sauce, mirin (sake I did not have), oyster sauce (or broth or spicy sauce (he also pronounced the fish a sweet flavor)), sesame oil (this essential oil will give smell and taste to our meat, so do not spare money to buy it, because it does not replace. Yes, and yourself will be delighted with the pleasant aroma of this oil). Well, we enjoy the smell of oil, and the stuffing have not yet added all the ingredients: add the remaining ginger, black pepper and garlic.

Now for the cabbage, it is an integral ingredient Heze, take about 6 or 7 sheets just obtained 300 g. wash and cut the thickest part. And here there are several ways to add cabbage to the meat: the first is raw and the second is a piece of cake. I tried both, but since my husband is not a fan of cabbage, I had to stop for a second. But I'll tell you about both methods, although the photo will be only one. So, for raw way cabbage finely cut into cubes and sprinkle with salt, leave for an hour to let the cabbage juice, then carefully squeeze the juice and add the squeezed cabbage in the stuffing.

The second method (steamed): drop cabbage in boiling water, count to 30 and take out method (as in stuffed).

This also cabbage a good squeeze, giving her a little cool, we don't want to burn my hands. Then I put it all in a blender (cabbage with onion), onions also cut finely, but I told you about my picky husband. In gaze even add finely chopped gusy, but I didn't have one.

Puree of cabbage and onion also add in our minced meat, stir.

And, finally, add 2 tbsp of potato starch, all mix well so that the starch is dissolved and there were no lumps, it is better to do hands. Cover with clingfilm and leave our meat for an hour, can be more, I once left for almost a day.

The dough for GEZE done in any special way from rice flour, but the recipe I found even on foreign websites, but found the perfect counterpart. So, with flour, water, salt and 2 tbsps starch knead elastic dough. I do this bread. The finished dough wrap in plastic wrap.

After the stuffing and the dough has rested, roll out the dough and press out circles with a glass.

The dough will be very elastic, but when heated can be sticky so sprinkle flour on hands and surface on which you work. The resulting circles again roll out the dough thinner and more evenly across its entire diameter.

On each circle put a teaspoon of stuffing.

And then the fun begins - modeling. On the one hand it is necessary to make the crease, and the other should be smooth.

Every crease is well pressed fingers to the dumpling was not sold.

That should get a result.

Well, almost everything, but I still have something interesting, because GEZE are prepared not as familiar dumplings, they are boiled, they are fried and steamed. Interested? I'll explain now. But first boil the kettle.

The pan put on medium heat with a little vegetable oil, put it on our dumplings and fry until the "belly" of our dumplings will turn a dark Golden brown.

And quickly pour in the boiling water, which we have prepared, so that they were almost completely in the water, cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low, cook until complete evaporation of water.

Here such turned out ready gaze. They are served with hot sauce: to do this, take 3-4 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp water and 0.5 teaspoon of chili sauce. It all a good stir and you're done! Finally!

I hope you too will like it as we do.
