Gyoza is a dumpling using wrapping thing dough to hold the inner ingredients. Most commonly, minced pork, cabbage, Garlic and Leek. The origin of Gyoza is from China but it has evolved uniquely in Japan and now quite different from the Chinese one.
Udon (うどん) is a type of thick wheat flour noodle. It is similar to Italian pasta, but much thicker. It has been eaten all over Japan as an easy-to-eat popular meal, and a substitute meal for rice dishes. Udon is often served hot as a noodle soup in its simplest form, as "kake udon", in a mildly flavoured broth called kakejiru, which is made of dashi, soy sauce, and mirin. The flavor of broth and topping vary from region to region.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
【food information】
Making udon noodles from scratch is a fun and unique experience that
requires simple ingredients. The broth and vegetable garnishes
highlight flavors unique to Japan that are difficult to replicate
elsewhere. Gyoza is a well-known dish around the world, but nothing
compares to the taste of freshly hand-made fillings! It's an excellent
party dish to make for your friends and family after returning home.
As for Ichigo Daifuku, it is a popular and simple Japanese sweet that
looks very cute. I'll teach everything you need to know to recreate
these Japanese dishes in your own kitchen!
