🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, prepare your gyoza. If using store-bought, make sure they are fully thawed. If making your own (and you should, it’s so rewarding!), follow your favorite recipe. I’ve got a killer recipe on my blog if you need a hand!
- Next, prepare the tempura batter. I typically use a pre-made mix for convenience—it's faster, and honestly, tastes amazing. Follow the package directions for mixing. The batter should be slightly thicker than pancake batter—think more of a light pourable consistency.
- Gently dip each gyoza into the tempura batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Don't worry about being perfect; a few uneven bits add character!
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or gyoza pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small drop of batter sizzles immediately when added.
- Carefully add the battered gyoza to the hot oil, working in batches to prevent overcrowding. This is crucial for achieving crispy results.
- Fry the gyoza for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to gently flip them; be patient and careful, as hot oil can be dangerous.
- Once golden brown and crispy, remove the gyoza from the oil using tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. I’m partial to a spicy mayo, but that's just me. Enjoy your amazing tempura-fried gyoza!
📝 Notes
- For extra crispy gyoza, let them rest on paper towels for a few minutes after frying.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying—fry in batches for best results.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of gyoza fillings. My personal favorite? Pork and cabbage!
