Maximize the Flavor! A Few Tricks to Get That Freshly Made Taste

A little effort goes a long way in making takeout and delivery food more delicious at home. Here are some tips to enjoy our Kusatsu gyoza and Chinese dishes as if they were freshly made.

Tips for Reheating and Plating Gyoza

The skin of pan-fried gyoza can become soft over time. When reheating at home, please try the following methods.

• Reheating in a Frying Pan: For cooled pan-fried gyoza, heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan over low to medium heat until the surface is crispy. Covering with a lid will steam and heat them through.
• Reheating in a Toaster Oven: Place them on aluminum foil and heat for a few minutes to restore the crispiness of the skin. Be careful not to burn them.
• Reheating Boiled Gyoza: Prepare water or chicken broth in a pot, bring it to a boil, add the gyoza, and reheat until they float to the surface. We recommend serving them with the soup.

Plating is also a key point. Simply arranging them neatly on a large plate and adding some colorful vegetables can dramatically improve their appearance and whet your appetite. Our juicy gyoza made with Kusatsu Baumkuchen Pork will taste even better when beautifully plated.

How to Reheat Chinese Dishes in General

Hot Chinese dishes like Mapo Tofu and Chili Shrimp are easy to reheat in the microwave. Covering them with plastic wrap helps retain moisture and keeps them from drying out. For stir-fried dishes that can burn easily, a quick toss in a frying pan will bring back their wonderful aroma.
