Gyozas
NEW ANGLES, TIMELESS TASTE
Gyozas, whose origins are still disputed between China and Japan, have conquered many palates over the centuries.
These crispy horn-shaped dimsum are brought in the spotlight at Madame Sum to please your Kokoro (A word used in Japan for "Heart" and "Soul") and to highlight tradition in all its glory. The pork gyoza, a time traveler and the veggie gyoza, a contemporary ideal, are far from outdone by their dimsum counterparts. They are just as delicious !

TWO SUPERCHARGED FLAVORS
Impressively tasty.
With the aim of preserving the traditional flavours of gyoza, and appealing to all tastes, we've created two recipes you will equally love.
PORK GYOZA
Impressively tasty
Supercharged with the finest Swiss ingredients, it is an unmissable burst of umami. Made with fresh and local products, the pork gyoza includes regional ground pork, white cabbage and spring onions. Its black pepper, ginger and dark soy seasoning adds character to its juicy heart. We already know you will love it.
VEGGIE GYOZA
Deep green flavours
Our second creation based of deep green flavours is the vegetarian gyoza. We'd better warn you, this one is a real crowd pleaser ! The Veggie gyoza is easy as can be, and that's what makes it even better. Nothing less than a fine blend of mushrooms, Chinese cabbage and carrots with our all-time banger seasoning of garlic, white pepper and sesame oil. Add to this coriander, spring onions and ginger for a fine touch of freshness.
Welcome to Gyoza paradise!
WHAT MAKES A GYOZA A GYOZA?
Have you ever asked yourself who had the genius to invent gyozas? Famous for their delicious flavours, Gyozas have an equally diverse and intriguing history. During the 19th century, Chinese immigrants from the Shandong region, brought their culinary traditions and flavors to Japan. Along with their cultural influence came the beloved "jiaozi", which gradually evolved into what we commonly call "gyoza".
Through dynasties and centuries, gyozas have evolved, adapted, and woven themselves into the culinary fabric of both nations.
Their crispy skin so delicate and essential at the same time makes the beauty of these flavoured bites. Don't hesitate to refer to the "How to get it right" section for a perfectly crisp cooking.They will completely crack you up !
Our Madame Sum edition pay homage to this remarkable heritage with a modern twist, inviting you to savor each bite with a nod to the past and a taste of the future.
