Kare Gyoza (Curry Potstickers)

Gyoza are Japanese dumplings. They are generally filled with ground meat, vegetables and
seasonings. The dumplings can be boiled, steamed, deep fried or shallow fried and steamed. I prefer to shallow fry and steam as you get to enjoy both the crispy fried side and the soft steamed side. Gyoza are typically dipped in a soy and chili oil sauce but since the curry has so much flavour I skipped the dipping sauce. The edge of the gyoza are typically folded up so that the bottom of the gyoza is flat.

1. Mash the leftover curry into a paste. (You may have to shred the meat with a pair of forks.}
2. Place about 1/2 tablespoon of the mashed curry onto the center of a wonton wrapper.
3. Wet the other edge of the wonton wrapper with water.
4. Fold the wonton wrapper over the curry filling and press the center of the edge together to seal.
