Thursday, 27 May 2010. Gyoza (pork dumplings), salad, miso soup, rice. I made gyoza today! Shame about the quality of this photo, but we all enjoyed our dinner. My daughter had 5 dumplings!

I made this dish again! Links to this post. Goya champuru, hiya somen. Links to this post. Cold tofu with soy sauce).
