how to serve Gyoza Soup

how to store Gyoza Soup
If you have leftovers, let the Gyoza Soup cool down completely. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to three days. When reheating, do so gently on the stove or in the microwave. However, be mindful that gyozas may become soft after storing, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
tips to make Gyoza Soup
To enhance the flavor of your Gyoza Soup, consider using homemade vegetable stock for a richer taste. You can also experiment by adding other vegetables according to your preference. If you love spice, increase the amount of chilli oil or add some sliced fresh chillies. Additionally, cooking the gyozas in the soup rather than frying them first can infuse more flavor into the broth.

If you’re looking for variations, you can swap the vegetable gyozas for chicken or pork gyozas for a different flavor. You might also try different vegetables, like mushrooms or bell peppers, to give your soup a personal twist. Feel free to adjust the level of spice and salt according to your taste.
