Ingredient Notes

1 cup of gyoza wrappers, which can be found in most Asian grocery stores, works wonderfully. For the filling, consider using 2 tablespoons of Sichuan peppercorns for that spicy flavor. A pound of firm tofu brings protein, while 1/2 cup of green onions adds freshness. You can substitute tofu with shiitake mushrooms or tempeh if needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Cut each gyoza wrapper into quarters and place them on the sheet.
  2. In a bowl, mix the Sichuan peppercorns and chopped green onions with crumbled tofu to combine well.
  3. Spoon the tofu mixture onto the center of each quartered wrapper, folding them into triangles.
  4. Lightly brush the folded gyoza chips with oil and sprinkle with salt.
  5. Bake for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway until they are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve with a dipping sauce like soy or chili oil for extra zest.

Things I’ve Learned

To achieve ultimate crispiness, ensure not to overcrowd the baking sheet. Store leftover gyoza chips in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat them briefly in the oven to regain crispness. Keep the filling veggie-friendly by opting for vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini, ensuring a vegan-friendly option as well.
