A floured tray of uncooked gyoza sits on the counter next to the clean sage-green pan with its glass lid. Caption: "Freeze extra gyoza on a tray, then bag them. Fry from frozen and add 2 minutes to the steam." A small drawing of the pan and a plate of lace-winged gyoza. Caption: "RECAP: Salt and squeeze the cabbage. Knead pork until sticky, mix in the veg.

About this chapter
Akane makes pan-fried gyoza with a crispy lace wing from scratch, but this time she is not alone: her rascal younger sister Rina drops in, steals tastes, folds a lumpy "gyoza with character" and lifts the lid at the worst moment. Captions walk the reader through every amount, fold and heat setting, ending with both sisters at the little table, the second chair finally taken.
