Instructions 做法

利用刨丝器具将白萝卜和胡萝卜刨成丝。

Once you’re done slicing the radish and carrot, put the lot inside the water bath (it’s fine if the ice has melted) and the strands will naturally separate. There may be a few stubborn ones, so gently agitate the water with your fingers to spread the remaining radish strands.

将白萝卜和胡萝卜刨丝后放入冰水中并使用手指轻轻拨开使萝卜丝散开。

Crazy delicious dressing 酱料制作

To make the dressing, add plum and shoyu sauce in a bowl and stir to mix thoroughly.

在碗里加入酸梅酱和日式酱油，搅拌均匀。

Next, add olive oil and stir through. This thins the sauce.

接着加入橄榄油搅拌均匀使酱料变稀。

Add lemon zest and lemon juice and stir to combine. Have a taste. Your dressing should be tangy and sweet and make you want to lick the spoon. Different types of honey and lemons have different levels of sweetness and tartness, so feel free to add a little bit more of each until you get a flavour you really like. However, it’s important to keep the flavours balanced so it complements the rest of your yee sang ingredients.

加入柠檬皮和柠檬汁并搅拌混合，期间可尝试并依据个人口味调整甜度和酸度。

Serve dressing in a bowl or small jug.

将酱料放在小碗或小容器里。

Fill a small pot with cooking oil about 2.5cm in depth and place it on your rangetop over high heat.

拿一个小锅倒入约2.5厘米深的食用油，并将它放在高温的炉灶上。

Once oil is hot enough for frying, about 185°C, test with one piece of cut gyoza. Drop it into the hot oil. If it rises quickly and starts to crisp up, your oil is hot enough. If it doesn’t, let your oil heat for a few more minutes.

将油加热至185°C的温度；可用一块切好的饺子皮测试油温是否足够，如饺子皮迅速上升并开始变脆表示油温已经适合，如果没有的话再继续加热几分钟。

Fry gyoza sheets in two or three batches. You’ll want a crunchy cracker that puffs up slightly and is a lovely golden brown in colour. It takes only about 1 minute or so.

将饺子皮分批油炸至金黄色。

Transfer cooked gyoza to a colander and sprinkle with sea salt. Shake to distribute salt evenly.
