One has to eat anyway. But during the weekend, A. wanted to help a bit with the cooking. So his main responsibility was to make apples or pears compote, one thing I invariably love, sick or not. He varied all the possible cuts\ufffc: thin slices, big chunks, very tiny cuts&#8230; and all were so much better than when I was making it for myself. But then on Sunday evening, I was a little bit tired and I asked him to help me prepare some steamed gyoza. For a reason that probably no one can understand, since Sunday noon I was craving for Chinese dumpling or any other steamed dumplings. And the easiest to prepare when you&#8217;re living in Tokyo are definitely steamed gyoza &#8211; \u6c34\u9903\u5b50.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I wasn&#8217;t interested in any of the meat filling, I was interested in the vegan version, the one where there is on the inside some mashed vegetables. And that was perfect because I had a piece of kabocha and a few sweet potatoes that our neighbor gave me\ufffc\ufffc. So A. helped me making these delicious dumplings. I roughly prepared the vegetables, then he steamed them, mashed them with a few drops of soya sauce and I only had to do very simple task of filling and closing the gyoza.<\/p>\n<p>Steaming user is actually very simple, if you have a bamboo steamer or if you have a steel steamer like I do just late sheet of cooking paper at the bottom of the steamer put the dumplings in top of it and cover steam for about like 5 to 10 minutes until the dough is translucent and moisten. Eat right away with soya sauce. That&#8217;s how simple it is! Thank you A. for your constant support, for helping me cooking this delicious dish and let us watch a few episodes of a stupid series!<\/p>\n<p>PS: For those worried about my health condition\ufffc, apparently I should survive is pneumonia.\ufffc\ufffc \ufffc;)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m just a utterly bored to have to do so little\ufffc\ufffc\ufffc and with so much to catch up with&#8230; Being sick sucks, recovery is too slow!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was supposed to rest, I still cooked a bit for myself.
