Gotta love those Dumplings

When you want something quick and fast yet wholesome and tasty... Go Gyozas!!!!!! Gyoza is basically an Asian filled dumpling that can be completely steamed or pan fried and then steamed. They're my favorite when it comes to those days when I want eat something good but don't have too much energy to spend hours cooking it. I normally have Trader Joe's Shrimp Gyoza's stocked in the freezer. Here are just a few dishes I used the gyozas in:

Broccoli & Shrimp Gyoza


String Bean & Mushroom Stir-Fry with Shrimp Gyoza

No recipes for these dishes; use your imagination and go for it!

Long Day + Hunger ≠ Crappy Food

So if your trying to get dinner done quickly and want it to taste like you put a lot of time into it. Visit your local Trader Joe's or Asian Market and stock up on these quick throw ins. Be creative with other ingredients that you may add into it. You can stir fry with them fresh veggies, add them to soups, or eat on their own with a simple dipping sauce made of soy, fresh ginger, crushed garlic and a little bit of chopped chives mix together. Enjoy!
