Gyoza: with homemade gyoza wrappers

 I know that you can buy the Gyoza wrappers easily from the supermarket ^^, but with this recipe you can make it by yourself with only 4 ingredients.


Actually, I always have a problem that when I go to the supermarket, I buy the wrapper because I want to eat gyoza, then I forget about it next day, and the wrapper are too dry to use. So, I think that I make it by myself is a better choice.
It needs only flour, salt, water and a bit of shortening, and you don't have to afraid about kneading, it will be smooth and elastic after resting ^^. 
Because I have garlic chive in the garden, I choose to use it in the filling. But you can use other recipe for filling, it depends on your taste. The most important thing is when frying the Gyoza, I suggest non-stick pan as it can stick to the pan easily (homemade wrapper has moisture than the commercial one), and don't forget to simmer it until the top of the Gyoza cooked and soften. Best serve hot from the pan ^^.
*If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, just mix soy sauce with vinegar to use as dipping sauce .

Dampen the side of the wrapper with water.
