About White Gyoza (Crisp, thick-skinned fried dumplings)

Noda, Chiba, is home to a specialty restaurant said to be the birthplace of White Gyoza. The founder created it based on what he learned in Manchuria from a Chinese man named Bai. If you’re picturing ordinary dumplings, White Gyoza is quite different in both shape and texture. Its defining feature is a thick, crisp skin that is pan-fried with oil; its appearance is more like inari sushi than a typical dumpling. The filling is generous, with meat and vegetables, and its crisp texture is irresistible. It’s a perfect accompaniment to beer.
