No-Fold Gyoza are Gyoza dumplings with pork filling but without complicated folding. Usually, you seal the Gyoza skin to keep the filling neatly inside by making kind of troublesome pleats. But here, the filling is merely wrapped in the skin by rolling. Super easy! It may not look as pretty as the regular one, but it’s still as tasty as always. This also freezes beautifully. One day make multiple batches and freeze, and have Gyoza dinners later on busy nights. No defrosting needed beforehand, but just cook a little longer. Hope you try this simple but delicious Gyoza soon!

Mizutaki (水炊き) is a traditional Japanese hot pot dish (known as nabemono, or simply nabe) in which fish or other meats and a variety of vegetables are gently cooked in a lightly flavored—or often unseasoned—broth. The cooked ingredients are then dipped in tangy ponzu sauce just before eating. Mizutaki is typically prepared in a ceramic pot called a donabe, right at the dining table over a portable gas stove. Part of the enjoyment comes from cooking and eating together as the meal progresses. While it may seem somewhat similar to sukiyaki, mizutaki is lighter and more delicate in flavor—making it an especially comforting and perfect dish for cold weather.
