Meatless Gyoza Dumplings, Simple Folds, Perfect Crispy Bottom | Aromatic Sichuan Chilli Oil

Gyoza in Japanese, Jiao Zi in Chinese. Mandu in Korean. Potstickers in English. I don't think I had ever come across anyone who didn't like these dumplings. Fried and then steamed till the liquid in the pan runs dry, forming a nice crisp at the bottom, whilst retaining the chewiness of the skin on top.
In this vegetarian recipe, I kept the ingredients minimal using only cooked bamboo shoots, chives and inari age and enhance the flavours with a special blend shio koji and dried shitake mushroom powder. The recipe ingredients are listed below.
