These tasty homemade gyoza are filled with edamame, butternut squash (pumpkin) and smooth silken tofu. They are boiled and pan fried to golden perfection! Freezer friendly and made completely from scratch! But believe me, there won’t be any left to freeze!
No kidding, I made 40 of these dumplings and among my husband, son and myself, we devoured them in no time with my son licking the plate for more! He developed a liking for dumplings after our recent trip to Taiwan and Japan where we ate dumplings almost everyday!
I usually make batches of them ahead of time and freeze them for future use. Simply chop, saute the ingredients and whip them up in a food processor, if you like a smoother texture, or just use a fork to mash up the tofu, then wrap and pan fry.
They are healthier, cheaper and taste so much better than the take-out from restaurants! So easy to make and you can completely customize your fillings. What’s best is that they’re kids approved. I’ve brought them to potlucks and birthday parties and they are the first to go! It’s a good way to incorporate a variety of vegetables into fun, tasty bite-size snacks that kids love!
Also, these gyoza make a perfect light meal with ramen or Easy Dry Egg Noodles.
Enjoy!
