Last Sunday Todd's family joined us for special dinner. Yuki, one of my caregiver, is Japanese, and an great cook. She prepared dinner with Gyoza (Japanese pot stickers), Yakisoba noodle, and chicken teriyaki. Earlier in the week Yuki and I had gone to the store to pick all of the necessary ingredients. Sunday afternoon she made the filling of Gyoza including ground turkey, ground pork, cabbage, fresh ginger and other seasonings. While this was chilling, she made a teriyaki marinade for the chicken, and prepared vegetables to go with noodles.
We had planned to have boys to help form Gyoza. Standing around the kitchen table (after we made them wash their hands), Yuki showed how much filling and how to shape wrappers. That ability for forming Gyoza seemed to come naturally to Walker. Sam had to work little harder, but really enjoyed making different shapes after Yuki said her children had always done that. Meanwhile Miles was not concerned about appearance, he set up a assembly line figuring speed was more important than appearance.
We made almost 50 and all were eaten that night. Walker wasn't going to quit until they were all gone. Dave was right there with him. They both agreed that you don't usually get to eat as much Gyoza as you want, but the night they did.
