HOWTO make ice-cream gyoza

The Evil Mad Scientist Labs kitchen has a recipe for cookie-dough (eggless, if you're worried about salmonella) and ice-cream gyoza (Japanese dumplings). They look delicious.

Fold the plastic wrap over the slice of dough and roll it out until it is a little larger than your gyoza press.
Peel the plastic wrap off of one half of the circle of dough. Lay the thin dough over the press and gently push it into the center to make a depression for the ice cream.
Put a small spoonful of ice cream into the depression.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Apoxia @1, you may want to do a bit of reading before you eat your next raw egg.

“Gyoza press”?? I make gyoza by folding and shaping the gyoza skins with my hands …

i’m surprised eggless cookie dough recipes aren’t more popular, since eating raw dough is one of life’s greatest pleasures. there are a ton of great recipes out there! i’m fortunate enough to live with a vegan baker, so…MMM

@1-Apoxia – Um, is that right?

Also, I’ve never understood what seems to be a US-centric fascination with cookie dough. I mean, sure, I lick the bowl when I make cookies, but I’d rather the dough be turned into cookies…

New Zealand has Salmonella. The interior of raw eggs do not.

Almost all salmonella is in the live chicken. There’ve been studies, and only 0.003% of raw eggs contain any salmonella: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12022671?dopt=Abstract

salmonella are usually on the outside of the egg, seldom on in the egg/yolk/white itself. and if youre still worried, just dont eat the raw dough..
also, gyoza, contrary to the chinese jiaozi, use a bit different ingredients. true tho, never heard of a gyoza-press ..

Eggytoast:
The CDC says that salmonella can be found in eggs (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/salment_g.htm). I just use the Davidsons eggs so I don’t have to worry about getting sick.

Gyoza should be deep-fried. These are no exception! Fry ‘em up!
@#3: I loved that :)

If you wanted me to enjoy this attractive food concept story, you should not have followed it with the one about the guy who climbs into outhouse pits. I’m thinking of skipping lunch and dinner now… :-P

@ #6 1) instant gratification. 2)it’s yummy and has a cool texture/flavour that is very different from baked cookies.

They look lovely, simple but effective.

I feel sorry for those whose eggs may have salmonella. We don’t have salmonella in eggs in New Zealand, we can have all the uncooked eggs we want!

Gyoza aren’t Japanese. They’re Chinese. Even Japanese will admit this, as difficult as it may be to believe.

Gyoza is just the Japanese word for it.
