Whoever voted for the second one is a total idiot. "Ramen" is a native japanese word. If it were the second one, it'd be "Remen". Don't mess. I have already translated the word "ramen" phonetically in both Japanese and Korean and they both show that it is the first vote.

Edited because I can't spell. [/quote]
Can you cook? I'll pass on the recipe if you want it. :) I have some gyoza in my freezer, I think I should pull it out and make it up, this thread is making me hungry for it! lol

lol Didn't I say before that I got the recipe from my friend and her mom? ;) I'll type it out and post it. It usually makes quite a bit, so if you're the only one eating it you'll probably want to freeze it. It keeps well. Also, if you don't have a place that sells the won ton wrappers where you live I have a recipe to make it--I've gotten off easy on that part since they sell them around here.

[b]Gyoza[/b]

1/3 to 1/4 lb ground beef and pork (I bought pork chops and put them through the food processor)
2 leaves cabbage (nappa cabbage if possible, also called hakkusai)
2 dried or fresh shiitake mushrooms
1 clove garlic, minced
1 TB soy sauce
dash salt and pepper
1/2 TB minced ginger
1 tsp. sesame oil
Round or square wrappers (pot sticker wrappers) (whichever you can find works, the recipe calls for round, but it doesn't actually make a difference)

Place a small spoonful of meat mixture on pot sticker wrapper, moisten edges of wrapper with water to seal. Fold in half, and then bring the 2 corners to the center (if you use square wrappers technically you'll have 3 corners, so you'd take the 2 that are along the fold). Boil in water or fry in oil. Oil should only be half an inch deep maximum (about as deep as bacon grease would be).

[b]Pot Sticker Wrappers[/b]

2 cups flour
3/4 cup plus 2 TB boiling water

Mix flour and water. Place dough on lightly floured surface, knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let stand 30 minutes. Knead again and divide in half. Roll to 1/8th inch things and cut in circles with round cookie cutter. Fill and cook according to directions above.

[b]Asian Noodle Soup[/b]

5 cups chicken broth.
1 tsp dried or fresh lemongrass
1 2inch piece of ginger, halved
4 ounces dry rice noodles
1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms sliced thin
1 cup fresh bean sprouts (when I haven't been able to get bean sprouts I used brussels sprouts)
1 cup fresh cilantro or basil
2 scallions sliced
Optional grilled chicken, beef, or pork thinly sliced

Combine broth, lemongrass, and ginger, bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer 15 minutes. Remove ginger. Add noodles and mushrooms, cook 2-3 minutes. Add scallions and meat. Remove from heat. Top with sprouts and fresh herb.

To add a kick, when you serve the soup you can add a bit of tobasco or other pepper sauce, and/or that dark colored fish sauce stuff that I can't remember what its called. This soup I first had at a Vietnamese restaraunt in VA, and then I found a recipe and tried it out, it was nearly exactly the same! Its really good, so I'm guessing if you like Asian food you'll like this soup, too. I can't remember for the life of me what its called, though. Even if I could I probably wouldn't be able to spell it. lol
