Cooking Steps
ā¢ Preheat oven to 220Ā°C/200Ā°C fan-forced. ā¢ Cut pumpkin into bite-sized chunks. ā¢ Place pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. ā¢ Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: Peel the pumpkin if you prefer and scrape out the seeds, if necessary!
ā¢ Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato. ā¢ Thinly slice spring onion. ā¢ Trim and roughly chop pea pods.
ā¢ In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook ginger paste and spring onion until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl. ā¢ Add soy sauce mix, plant-based mayonnaise and the brown sugar to the garlic oil mixture and stir to combine.
ā¢ Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. ā¢ When oil is hot, add vegetable gyozas, flat-side down, in a single layer. Cook, until starting to brown, 1-2 minutes. ā¢ Add the water (watch out, it may spatter!) and cover tightly with a lid (or foil). ā¢ Cook until the water has evaporated and gyozas are tender and softened, 4-5 minutes.
ā¢ Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, tomato, pea pods, Japanese style dressing and a drizzle of olive oil. ā¢ Season with salt and pepper.
ā¢ Divide pumpkin chunks, veggie gyozas and Japanese mixed leaf salad between plates. ā¢ Spoon gyoza sauce over gyozas to serve. Enjoy!
