Barcelona’s Trendiest Food, Delivered Right to Your Doorstep
If you’ve never heard about the Asian delicacy called gyoza, be prepared to be swept off your feet. Known as gyoza, jiaozi, dim-sum, or potstickers, these are one-biters to make you roll your eyes back in satisfaction.
Making gyoza is an act of love. Despite looking like ordinary stuffed dumplings, they’re much more complicated than you think. What’s the secret behind delicious gyoza? The answer is balance. Savory, fatty and crunchy. Every ingredient in a gyoza filling serves a purpose — the result: steamy bits of heavenly bliss.
The best part? Now you can receive homemade artisanal gyoza to your doorstep thanks to Gyozabor, a one-man operation that adds flavor to Barcelona’s already vibrant food scene.
What is Gyōza?
Gyozas are pan-fried and steamed dumplings filled with a wide variety of fillings featuring the primary protein source, whether pork and edamame fillings. They're also filled with lots of veggies like cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, spring onions, all tossed in a thrilling combination of Asian sauces for a bite that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
Perfect snacks, a delicious lunch, or a comforting dinner, you can enjoy gyoza at all hours. As an appetizer, side dish, or main course, they’re just easy to love!
The authentic gyoza came from China and was already enjoyed 2,000 years ago during the Han Dynasty. This is one of many Chinese New Year specialties, but they’re appreciated all year long. Who’s up for some gyoza?
The Secret Behind the Perfect Gyoza
You’ve heard this before, but really, the secret ingredient behind gyoza is love and passion. There’s a unique technique to fold the dough wrappers into those pretty ear-shaped dumplings, and the filling shines for being in absolute balance between flavors and textures.
Gyozabor’s gyoza, available with pork and edamame fillings, uses authentic shiitake mushrooms for their umami-rich flavors, then there’s the aromatic garlic and ginger.
No gyoza filling is complete without roasted sesame oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and homemade miso paste (which is quite rare!) — all delicious sauces and seasonings that add their personality to the dumplings. Then you have the veggies: napa cabbage, savoy cabbage, and spring onions come together to provide the perfect crunch. The veggies are marinated for 24 hours to achieve the ideal texture and flavor.
Everything is brought together by a splash of Chinese rice wine, salt, and pepper, but the entire recipe is a secret. You must try Gyozabor’s delicacies to discover their authentic flavor.
As with every small, passionate food business, Gyozabor is all about the details, and their success is spread by word-of-mouth. Just like in the humblest eateries in Asia, this gyoza results from one chef in love with delicious food, and we can all enjoy it!
