Method:
For the dough: Mix the salt into the flour. Gradually add as much water as needed, stirring initially with a fork to make a soft dough that doesn’t stick (you may need less water). Wrap the dough in cling foil or a moist towel and leave to rest for at least half an hour.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and put the filling in the fridge until it is time for it to be used.
Making the gyoza: Divide the dough in 24 pieces (20gr approximately each). On a floured working surface use a small rolling pin to flatten each piece into a thin disc of a diameter of approximately 10 cm. (It should fit into the palm of your hand).
Add 1 tsp filling in the middle, brush the edges with a little water and fold the dough, making a half crescent. Fold the gyoza again, pinching the edges so that they are well closed. Place the gyoza on a tray.
Start frying the gyoza in a non-stick pan with a soup spoon of oil on strong heat. As soon as they are golden brown and the dough underneath begins to brown, sprinkle a table spoon of flour. Carefully add the hot water immediately and cover with the lid (The water should cover them to just under half way).
Leave to boil for 3-5 minutes. The gyoza will soften, but as soon as the water evaporates, leave for a few minutes to become crisp
For the sauce: Mix all the ingredients together and serve in a separate bowl.
