how to make gyoza (dumplings)

It was too early when I arrived at Ame-chan's house so they were surprised at my arrival. "Hayai na~" was the greeting. It was just my mistake to estimate the travel time 'again'. They also asked what happened to me for I was wearing a skirt. Well, after a few checking out of friends in Facebook, I figured that I hadn't change with how I put clothes on, and my friends from college are way too grougeous now and fashionable than before. Amazing! Anyway..

It was our "gyoza party"! We made gyoza, though some looked like siomai and out-of-this world gyoza shapes. :)

This is the original one:

    b. Wipe a little of water, painting a crescent (or half the dumpling wrapper).
    c. Fold in the tip, and continue folding until you get to the other side.
    d. That's it. You can also experiment other shapes. :D
3. Frying
