Author Notes
My scallop and corn gyoza recipe was originally made for a friend's birthday party. The sweet, soft scallops are perfect inside these dumplings, but are made even more delectable with the addition of fresh, crisp corn. The corn also helps make the texture refreshingly unique in comparison to most gyoza fillings. I created this recipe after eating many gyoza in Tokyo, my current home. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- Scallop & Corn Gyoza
-
1
package round wonton wrappers
-
1/3 pound
(or about 4) large sea scallops, chopped
-
1/4
head Nappa Cabbage, thinly sliced
-
1
ear fresh corn, cut off the cob, not cooked
-
1/3 cup
Chinese chives
-
1 tablespoon
garlic, chopped
-
1 tablespoon
ginger, chopped
-
2 tablespoons
soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon
sesame oil
-
2 teaspoons
sugar
-
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil, plus extra for frying
- Sambal Dipping Sauce
-
1/3 cup

1/3 cup
plain yogurt
Directions
- Scallop & Corn Gyoza
-
In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, chives, corn and scallops. In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger and garlic along with the soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar. Whisk to combine.
-
Pour the liquid mixture over the scallop and veggie mixture. Stir to coat the ingredients. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
-
Using a teaspoon, scoop a small spoonful of the filling into the center of the gyoza wrappers. Fold the wrapper around the filling and use a fork to seal the edges.
-
Place the gyoza in a steamer and cook for 3 or 4 minutes. Work in batches, placing the steamed gyoza on a plate. You may end the cooking process here, or continue reading for instructions on pan frying.

To pan fry:
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Place the gyoza in the pan and fry for 2 minutes or until the bottom is brown and crisp. Reduce the heat and add 1/4 cup water. Cover the pan and allow the gyoza to steam in the pan (this ensures the wrappers are tender and soft rather than chewy). Transfer the gyoza to a plate and serve with Sambal Dipping Sauce (recipe below.)
