I seriously dig his Austro-Hungarian cavalry officer look
He seems like a retired Winged Hussar.
I've always likened him more to Freddie Mercury if Freddie started cooking instead of singing
That's so random. But yes he does look like an Austro-Hungarian cavalry officer
Oddly specific, but I can picture him in a huszar uniform
@@theappleboi3104 Retired? He just ARRIVED!
He seems like the kind of guy that always has gyoza on his freezer
Yeah I thought so too!
my kinda guy
And pickled onions

I really appreciate that you have time stamps on all your videos. I watch the whole video anyways, but it shows you care about us. :)
I know I like videos with timestamps so I'll always return the favour!

@@NilesBlackX HAHAHA wholesome!
It is particularly useful when you go back to a video for consultation while cooking, and you need to find a specific part while the oil in the pan is on fire, your kid is crying, the lobster is exploiting the commotion to run away.

"Who needs to have steamed or fried dumplings when you can just have both!" - Literally everyone that tried Gyoza
People usually FRY and BOIL dumplings
@@onoca3861 From what I know it's usually reverse, boiled then fried later. Also, boiling a dumpling and steaming it isn't the same thing, gives a completely different texture.
@@gunzalesd8460 I think it just depends on country and region and personal preference! In Japan I was taught the same way as this video, but I’ve seen it done the other way around in other peoples households. But I mean at the end of the day as long as you get a tasty gyoza it’s all the same 😄
@@courtneyg5536 I was talking about dumplings in general, not specifically gyoza, but yes, that definitely plays a role! I come from a Polish household and boiled, then fried when you're about to serve, is the usual way we go about it.
@@gunzalesd8460 in Lithuania we just boil our dumplings. Boiling THEN frying is a great snack with beer :)
I swear this is the only food youtuber who always makes stuff I actually _care_ about learning how to do

@@day-me-inmoodley3283 why I season my reply, _not_ my comment
I love that Ethan acknowledges calories and fat without turning his channel into a health and fitness zone. In a culture where we celebrate what I'd ultimately call 'dangerous food', it makes sense for home cooks to consider how we cook and it's impact on the health of ourselves and our families.
Yes, I want to comment that Oil is necessarily bad for you, nor does not eating it mean you are going to consume less calories in your life. Fat is filling, and slows down digestion. America nutritional advice is often very misguided. I eat a high healthy fat diet, and do not struggle with weight. I don't drink pop or much alcohol. I do enjoy sugar in my espresso... and some fat.
oil calories counted >> instant like
Polyunsaturated fats and frying are the main issue. I limit that, and use mostly coconut oil, with occasional butter and olive oil use. I feel much better now then when I was using and eating fried foods and vegetable and sesame oils.
@@Soulmodulation What? Unsaturated fats are the healthier variant, compared to saturated- or trans fat. Or are you talking about something other than longevity and cardiovascular health?
@@markgremlin you know what also slows down digestion and is more filling than fat? Fiber, fiber is way better and less calories proportionally.
as an Asian, I can't emphasise how much of a blessing this truly is. they're so customisable, fun to make/wrap especially with family, easy and quick to cook, traditional and so delicious!!! would also recommend a pork + chives filling (韭菜) or a sweetcorn and pork one too, and a vegan one with mushrooms, chives, glass noodles and firm tofu. also for meat fillings, apparently it's better if you stir with chopsticks in a circular motion in one direction, because it sort of helps the proteins bind together better, but I think the difference is negligible.
thank you for sharing more on different cultures and cuisines, not just Asian ones, and respecting the dishes too 🥰
Reading Dorohedoro really got me interested in gyoza, but this just has reinforced my interest and I plan on trying it for tonight. Thanks for the video!
You'll love them!
Dorohedoro? Great taste, I think you’ll enjoy these
A man with taste, you are gonna love these btw
There is an episode with the "recipe" they use in the show if you wanna recreate
Aoba gyoza
HI-CHEW gang get in here boys!
Top tier candy.
Yesyesyesss
That candy always get stuck to me teeth can I can never swallow or lick it lol
@@ryanvega182 the hi-chews with the japanese name are actually a competitor brand called puccho. they have a gushers type center that's a different flavor. i think hi-chew are better for their simple, delicious fruit flavors but some of the puccho combinations are hella good.
Best candy
I really love how you always include vegetarian/ vegan options. As a vegan myself who is obsessed with cooking yt I really appreciate it ^^
Me too (vegan of six years). In fact going vegan got me more into cooking (at the beginning I was like "what am I gonna eat? Oh duh, I know how to cook and there's a million recipes online).
Add small soy chunks insted of pork to make it vegan.
I make these purely vegetarian without tofu or any meat-replacement - just more veggies, usually whatever is left over in the fridge that's about to go bad and they come out delicious. Nice video!
you can also put kimchi and glas noodles in it. thats the way I love my vegetarian version :D
You have just cemented yourself as the greatest person on UA-cam.
Dude I had no idea they were this straightforward to make, this is one of my favorite foods!!!
You're my hero, Ethan. I mean it.
0:15 470 kcals for 10? You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.
I learnt to make Gyoza at the beginning of lockdown and 100% agree that the store bought wrappers are so worth it to cheat on.
How difficult are they to make? Here the wrappers are pretty expensive.
@@marcellkovacs5452 this knowledge would also be beneficial to me
@@marcellkovacs5452 2 parts flower, 1 part water, optional egg, some salt. Dough just beyond sticky. Kneed for 15 mins. Rest and roll. That's a whole bunch of wrappers.
@@marcellkovacs5452 dough is simple but you have to roll them thin
@@marcellkovacs5452 I just squish mine together. They’re just as good!
"so i have an excuse to go the the asian market"
i felt that
if i have an excuse to drive 30 mins to my asian market, i will use it
" did you really just drive an hour just for sprouts ?"
" well yes, but actually no. i also spent 30 bucks on stuff ive never seen before ! "
I’m so so glad I live in a multicultural area where Middle Eastern, Asian, and hispanic grocery markets are all within 10 mins of my house
I wish I had an Asian supermarket. The only thing that I've got is a 1 hour drive to a giant ass mall.
Same
I always find an excuse to spend at least ten minutes roaming the one Asian product shelf at my local supermarket every time I go there
thank you for making legit videos that are enjoyable and not annoying like the camera-in-a-cabinet guy.
Yeah. He is annoying. And the more annoying he gets the less useful his videos are and the more followers he gets, which I don't understand.
"How to make hot chocolate take 3 hours and $500!"
Who are these videos even for? I've tried a bunch of his recipes and they're barely ever good enough to justify the trouble & cost, plus half of them require his sponsor's $500 equipment.
You can also use potato/corn starch slurry instead of water at the end and flip the potstickers onto a plate charred side up. Looks amazing and adds more crispy bits :)
I'm a chef in a city called Yokohama, a place in Japan right next to Tokyo very famous for its Chinese cuisine. Been making gyoza by hand for almost 12 years now, and easily one of the things I teach most to anyone who wants to learn.
Dumplings are customisable, delicious, adaptive and capable of being anything you want or crave.
As a young child, I grew up in Japan...gyoza was always a go-to snack!
do you freeze it alot there too?
@@monke980 i was a child. I just ate what my mom prepared, but it was always readily, available, so I imagine it was in the freezer, ready-to-go, with FOUR, young daughters. 👍😊
@@erlandatugaw8883 nice
Honestly, this guy is probably my most consistent inspiration out of all UA-cam chefs. I don’t think there’s been a recipe of his that I’ve looked at, not thought “god I’ve gotta try that” (his pickled onions are a storecupboard staple now) and then when I try it, it always blows me away.
The fact that this channel doesn't already have 1 million subscribers is a crime. These videos have helped me so much figure out new food options for my life and I hope more people find this channel. Thank you.
You are one of the best food youtubers because you also teach how to make the recipe with the formula, its so helpful
I absolutely love your channel, and have been watching for around a year now! Coming from an accounting grad student, I appreciate your food equations and pragmatic approach to cooking ((your deloitte is showing)), while still making it fun and approachable. keep up the amazing content in 2021!
Ran out of wrappers while making these (I'm a dummy and broke a few) so I made fried rice with the rest of my filling, turned out quite nice!
I'm so glad you made a gyoza video! My boyfriend and I love dumplings so we were ordering them constantly. We started making our own though because ordering all the time can get expensive. I've kind of developed my own recipe since then but I would love to consider your equations and methodology for the next batch. Thank you! :)
Try cut up bean sprouts as the vegetable, leek is also very popular. I find a teaspoon of cornstarch binds the mixture to the skin.
Thank u mate, u opened me a hole new world of meal prep..loving it to listen to my fav podcast and standing there for hours and folding my gyozas..greetings from germany
Hi Ethan,
I am dropping this comment to say I loved your ideas with the brussel sprout salads. I have been using many of your at home cooking techniques in my own recipes. Many thanks, and I hope the new year brings so much more good food and times to be had.
Really like the flavour/texture infographics you give and how you go more into things like necessity, cleanup and convince!
Looks so yummy. Thank you for the filling details and the proportions.
I just made this last night with my friend - They were amazing thanks for the recipe, Ethan !
this is the perfect DIY hot pocket replacement
Nothing like a hot pocket...
The recipe I didn't know I needed! Excited to try these out :) I'm looking forward to what you have in store for us in 2021. Thanks for all the quality videos and recipes in 2020, I've really been able to step up my cooking game because of them!
My family is going to love me for prepping these in the freezer for them! Thank you!
I love that you always include a vegetarian version, it's very thoughtful of you to do that. Also, because this dough is only water, flour and salt, it would make it vegan, too! It may be one of the most easiest chinese recipes to veganize
It is really easy to make vegan! I recommend cabbage, tofu, oyster sauce and chili paste. Also, it’s Japanese, not chinese
Faolannn It is Chinese.
@@handlenot030 Gyoza literally comes from jiaozi.
love how easy you make the customization, such a helpful thing include
I used to make these on the weekends in Japan because it's so convenient being able to cook them straight from frozen, especially for a family with twins! Throw together a couple of sides, a nice bowl of rice, and you've got a full meal, it's fantastic and budget friendly!
My daughter and I just made a batch of these using your recipe and they were DELICIOUS! We had some leftover filling and made little patties out of it and fried it up and they were great and would make a killer sandwich with maybe a Korean style BBQ sauce or sriracha mayo, lettuce and of course some pickled onions. It was easy and fun, thanks for the recipe and inspiration!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
ethan you make the best videos bro. the stuff you upload is what people actually want to see. they may not know it yet. my favorite things to get at the japanese grocery stores are calpico and face cleansing foam. highly recommend both if you don't already indulge
Gyoza, pierogies and any type of dumplings are a winner in my book. They are so good. I hope you have a Happy New Year. Cheers!
Absolutely gonna make these on repeat in 2021.
Thank you for this.
I love your videos so much. The only UA-cam chef I’ve seen add the macros to each of the dishes he makes.
I do this too! Usually make about 5 dozen with David Chang’s filling recipe, and then I have them frozen for quick lunch or snacks while I’m working. Love this video!
do you have a link to the recipe?
Making gyoza is just so fun. Love it. I always add Sriacha or chili oil to my dipping sauce.
Air Frying them works pretty well in my experience. As it does for Lumpia!
For me you are the best Food channel on UA-cam. You make everything so easy and understandable. Thank you sir and I wish you to become very big!!
I've made these before, but was trying to figure out how to freeze them properly. Thank you so much for this.
Ethan, the streets need a homemade recipe for bulgogi 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Absolutely love dumplings, fried, steamed, in a good broth. Visited Japan when I lived in Korea back in the 70s. Have made them for years.
Just made these following along with the video, super doable, love the channel!
Great video, i loved it, and that's exactly how my friends and i do it, just sit there and make hundreds at a time, divvy them up and we all freeze them and eat them at our leisure.
little extra protip to take gyoza to the next level with very little additional effort (Japanese home cook style):
use LOTS of Garlic Chives (Chinese chives or nira) into the meat filling to really kick that aromatic level to a whole new level
when you add the water into the pan to steam the gyoza, add some potato starch (Katakuriko, in japanese) to the water first, mix thoroughly then add to the pan as normal. the starch added in the water will bind with the skin and cook faster, creating a light SUPER crispy texture to the bottom of the gyoza.
Chinese chili oil (La-yu, in japanese/chinese) into the dipping sauce instead of just sesame oil to add the little extra heat probably instead of the serrano pepper, if you wanna maintain a slightly more authentic flavor, but serrano peppers are still good adds if you need the extra heat.
lastly, while the soy sauce + rice wine combo is great in a pinch, traditionally (in japan) Ponzu is the preferred sauce. similar flavor profile, but instead of vinegar to add the acidity, it uses different types of citrus to give a very refreshing flavor, rather than just the tang from vinegar.
I've made this recipe and it's great. Also, I love this channel. Videos are always good, well thought out, entertaining, and information is easy to follow.
I absolutely love your channel mate! Even if I may not make the recipe, I just enjoy watching as it's so soothing!
I just made these last week. Very similar recipe. Delicious and addicting.
Hey Ethan! You should arrange the gyoza in a flower shape in the pan and mix some flour into the water you're gonna pour into the pan, then flip it all out into a plate like a Spanish tortilla. In Japan that method is super popular as it gives you an extra crispy base! Great recipe and video as usual!
just made these, they were crazy good. thanks for the vid as always. hope france is treating u well.
I always buy frozen dumplings at my local Asian grocery, such an easy snack or quick meal. I never thought about making and freezing my own! I'll definitely try this.
Also, replacing the sesame oil for HOT sesame oil in the dipping sauce is a good move if you want extra spice. Great video!
This is actually an awesome idea!! I'm absolutely going to be doing this!!!
I've made these before and I gotta say it's probably one of the easiest and best tasting things you could find on this channel, other than the pickled onions of course!
Gonna make this later! Can’t wait to try them out.
egg and flat chive will always be my fav veggie filling !!
These were so good! Will definitely be making again.
hey ethan, your videos are inspiring me to cook. keep them coming!!
Next video: gyoza stuffed inside a pierogi stuffed inside of a calzone.
You forgot to put pierogi into empanadas before stuffing calzone
@@grucha1158 I see you're a man of culture as well
The Gyozierone or maybe Pierogyozone? ala turducken if you will.
This is a must recipe. Thank you for sharing
Happy new year Ethan! Love the videos and can’t wait for what’s next from you
man your little graphics are great. really helps me get ideas
This made my day and I will definitely give it a try 😋
Definitely wanna try these, have been hooked on frozen dumplings from the store lately, so easy to cook up quick. The sauce I really like is just hoisin sauce with a bit of sesame oil, so good
I am dealing with the rolling blackouts in Texas but prepped between outages... when the power went on I cooked a bunch of these. This was a hit! Def helped with my bad mood. 😂
Just froze my first batch today. Delicious!
This will definitely go on my to do list 😁 Thank you Ethan!
This inspired me to make my own gyoza last night. They're so good!
Homemade frozen gyoza is amazing. You have the freedom to put whatever inside it, which in turn also affect the calorie count. It cooks like hella fast, and so versatile! Eat it plain, with rice, even also in hot dog bun (I kid you not, this surprisingly worked!)
Love your videos and plan to start making the gyozas this week. And it’s a pleasure just looking at you.
Omg I wanna try these so bad 😋 Thank you so much for your awesome content!
Yay, i was just going back to your livestream to see all that i needed & Ethan tips. Perfect timing c:
Thanks for a great video!
We do the same thing at home on a regular basis! So convenient! We make big batches and then have enough for whenever we dont' have time/ don't feel like cooking for the next week or two. We switch it up too, one week dumplings, one week wontons, one week baozi. So fun!
Excellent video!
will definitely try this one
This is awesome! I recently started making gyoza for my freezer lazy meals and there are so many good tips here so thank you!!! I was making my own wrappers because I live a ways from the asian market and the only folding method I knew was the first one. I also suck at it lol. Will try the center fold next time. I also froze my first batch straight away and they stuck together and it was an absolute nightmare trying to cook that mass of meat and dough, yuck. Anyone reading this should follow his freezing method to the T. By the way, if you see sugar coated wax berries at the asian market, try them! They're so good.
Seriously good video, thank you! I'm treating myself and my boyfriend to dumplings tonight, this has been a huge help
saw the video yesterday and today i made 30's of this bad boys, very good video indeed.
YES! I'm making some right now for tomorrow's New Year's Eve!
Hello from Japan！A popular filling at home in Japan for gyoza is cheese and kabocha (a type of sweet pumpkin ) . I highly recommend it!
Ooo interesting, what type of cheese?
I just did these with some cabbage, spring onions, carrots and Tofu... and let me tell you: these are delicious! although a bit tedious, worth every single spent second in them. 10/10 will make again.
Very nice recipe chef 👍👌👏. Thank you for your effort 🙏 and A Happy New Year for you and your family 🎇🎆🍾🥂
You can also toss them in a good broth to make a soup! Idk how traditional it is but it’s quick and really good.
I put a bit of cornstarch on the water and it gets an extra crunchy bottom once all that water's evaporated. :3
Made me remember again how awesome it is to have frozen gyoza in the fridge tho. Once our freezer frees up after new year, will definitely practice this!
Just made your pickled onions yesterday, it just goes with everything. Might have to give this one a try aswell
Loving the chart you put up on the video and the calorie references. So many UA-cam cooks don't include that.
Great idea
Gyoza’s are by far one of my favourite foods
I wish you had more views on your videos, since your content is such of a good quality. Hope it will go up with time. Have a great new year
Dude... after watching your video I just had to try them immediately. What can I say, amazing. I‘ve done em with chicken and ate it with sweet soy sauce. Plus, I‘ve made a big bunch an froze the rest. What an amazing piece of food.
The plis were mindblowing
Love it, thanks man
I do this! My preferred fillings are: Shrimp, spring onion, ginger for aromatics, and then for my dipping sauce, truffle oil! It's so good! And I also steam them. It's sooo simple.
