The recipe that saved a disorganized, panicked mother of three during the Creative Awards writing period.

To everyone who entered the 2024 Creative Awards, great job!
\(ToT)/

I suddenly felt like trying my hand at writing a novel, so I decided to enter the romance category and started writing in mid-June.

However, although I managed to write the first chapter in June, I was then chased by other work.
Just as I felt relieved that the work was finally over, I hit a wall because I couldn't get the structure together, and I ended up having to write from Chapter 3 onwards in about a week starting July 16th.

In those days when I had very little peace of mind, the hardest part was dealing with my three children who would immediately complain of hunger.

On July 17th, six days before the deadline, I was already exhausted from the constant chorus of "Mom, I'm hungry, it's already 7 o'clock" just as I was getting into the zone and feeling inspired.
On this day, I was panicking because, schedule-wise, I wanted to at least publish the first chapter... and I had to do the work of formatting it.

At that moment, my eyes caught a recipe from Furao-san, who generously publishes innovative, time-saving, and easy recipes every day.

I thought, "I have some leftover gyoza wrappers at home too... I can make this...!"

It was surprisingly easy, and we finished eating it with the kids in no time, leaving none for my husband.

Note: From here on out, photos of un-Instagrammable food will appear.
I hope the high quality of Furao-san's cooking and photos, and the fact that the dish itself is reproducible by anyone (the passion I want to convey), comes across...!

1. Lay out 10 gyoza wrappers that have been left over for weeks.

2. Mix ground meat with shiso leaves and enoki mushrooms I had at home, along with other seasonings.

3. Place the mixed ingredients on top of the wrappers.

4. Place another 10 wrappers on top of that.

5.Gah! Ta-da!! Done.

Looks aside, it was truly delicious, and I got a storm of complaints from the kids like
"Mine was smaller" or "Is there no more?"
It's amazing that we could eat something that tastes like "gyoza" with such a time-saving method. Where on earth does your inspiration come from, Furao-san?
Not having to wash a bowl was also a huge relief for me during this period.
Thank you so much, Furao-san! 💖🥟💖

The Creative Awards are over, and I finally have some breathing room starting today, but I intend to rely on Furao-san's recipes for a while during the long summer vacation.
I look forward to your continued support!!
