Smashed Gyoza with ground pork, gyoza wrappers and napa or green cabbage — Japan recipe

Smashed Gyoza

A viral riff on pan-fried gyoza that skips the folding entirely. A ball of seasoned pork filling drops into a hot oiled pan, a gyoza wrapper is pressed over the top, and the whole thing is smashed flat with the bottom of a glass. Result: maximum pan contact, a shatteringly crisp wrapper, and a golden-crusted pork patty — all in one piece. No pleating, no steaming step, no technique barrier. Eat open-faced with soy-vinegar dipping sauce, or fold like a taco.

Mille-Feuille Nabe (Japanese Cabbage and Pork Hot Pot) with napa cabbage, pork belly and dashi — Japan recipe

Mille-Feuille Nabe (Japanese Cabbage and Pork Hot Pot)

Mille-feuille nabe borrows its name from the French pastry of a thousand leaves, but here the layers are napa cabbage and paper-thin pork belly, packed upright into a pot so the cut edges spiral outwards like a flower. A clear dashi broth is poured over and everything simmers for twenty minutes until the cabbage collapses into sweetness and the pork melts. It looks like far more work than it is, and the leftover broth makes the best bowl of udon you'll have all winter.

Pork and Cabbage Dumplings (Chinese Jiaozi)

These northern Chinese jiaozi have thin, pleasantly chewy skins and a juicy pork filling threaded with sweet Napa cabbage. Salting and squeezing the cabbage keeps the filling moist without flooding the wrappers. Make them for Lunar New Year, or settle in for an unhurried weekend folding session.
