Kyushoku 1 : GYOZA(Jiaozi)



GYOZA is a Chinese dish, which is pronounced as "Jiaozi" in China. Chinese people eat Gyoza as a staple food and it's very popular in their country. In Japan, it's also popular and many restaurants serve it.

Gyoza is served in several different styles. Sui-Gyoza, boiled Gyoza, is the most popular style in China. But Japanese people much prefer Yaki-Gyoza, pan-fried Gyoza, and Age-Gyoza, deep-fried Gyoza.

You can easily cook a Gyoza in your home since most supermarkets in Japan sell frozen Gyoza at a low price. All you need to cook it are a frying pan, oil and some water. If you are interested in some other Chinese dishes too, you should buy a wok, a Chinese frying pan, because you can pan-fry, deep-fry, boil and steam in it. In fact, a number of Japanese people have one in their homes and often use it.
