Is gyoza a side dish or a staple food?
What surprises people from China (Tohoku region) who visit Japan is that they eat gyoza and white rice together.
Chinese people are surprised to eat carbohydrates (dumpling skin) and carbohydrates (white rice) together.
However, in Japan and China (Tohoku region), the view of gyoza is different.
Japanese yaki gyoza have thin skin and are relatively small. In contrast, in China, boiled gyoza are the main and the skin is thick and large.
For this reason, yaki gyoza in Japan is recognized as a side dish eaten with rice.
In China (Tohoku region), gyoza is regarded as a staple food and is not eaten with rice, which is also a staple food, but only gyoza is eaten as the main.
However, even though it is called China, this is a story in the northeastern region of China.
In the south of China, dumplings are regarded as simple fast food, and there is no food culture to make dumplings from the skin.
Even one gyoza is perceived differently in Japan and China. That being said, gyoza is still delicious!
At the gyoza exchange meeting made from the skin, we spread the circle of mutual understanding by sending out the difference between Japan and China through gyoza making and providing opportunities for exchange between Japan and China while making gyoza from the skin with international students 🥟 ♪

「餃子はおかずにならない?」って言われること、ありますよね。私も最初は“皮=炭水化物”だから白米と合わせるのは重いのかな…と思っていました。でも実際に焼き餃子を食べると、皮が薄くてパリパリで、味がしっかりしている分「ご飯(白米)が欲しくなる」感覚が強いです。タレの塩気やニンニクの風味で白米が進むので、日本の焼き餃子は「おかず」扱いになりやすいんだと思います。 一方で「餃子は主食ですか?」と聞かれたら、中国の水餃子寄りのイメージだと“主食”に近いのも納得です。皮が厚めでボリュームがあると、白米なしでも何個か食べると満腹になります。私も水餃子を多めに作った日は、主食として成立するので「今日は米いらないね」になりがちです。 じゃあ、餃子の日の献立はどう組むのが正解? 私のおすすめは「餃子+軽めの付け合わせ(野菜・汁物)」です。餃子は脂と塩分がしっかりあるので、さっぱり系を足すと食べ合わせが一気に良くなります。 ・餃子に合うおかず/付け合わせ:もやしナムル、きゅうりのたたき、トマトの酢和え、冷奴(薬味多め) ・餃子ともう一品:わかめスープ、卵スープ、春雨スープ、野菜たっぷり中華スープ ・こってり餃子の日:キャベツ千切り+ごまドレより、レモンやお酢を効かせた味付けが相性◎ 「餃子 おかずにならない」と感じる場合は、白米を少なめにしてスープを足すのもおすすめです。白米の量を控えても満足感が落ちにくいし、口の中がリセットされて餃子の“美味しいっすね!(皮が)パリパリ”も最後まで楽しめます。 結局のところ、餃子とは“主食にもおかずにもなれる便利な存在”。焼き餃子は白米と、ボリュームある餃子は単体で、というふうにその日の餃子のタイプで献立を変えるのがいちばんしっくりきました。
