  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Filling

  • 1/2 cup ground pork
  • 2/3 cup green cabbage finely shredded
  • 1/4 cup green onions finely chopped
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/8 tsp fresh ginger minced
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • black pepper to taste

Wrappers

  • 24 fresh gyōza wrappers
  • water for sealing dumplings

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp water

Instructions
 

Preparing Gyōza

  • In a medium bowl, combine all of the filling ingredients until well mixed.  
  • Depending on the size of your wrapper, use 1/2 - 3/4 tsp of filling per wrapper.
  • Pleat wrapper edges, then place filled gyoza on a well-floured plate or baking sheet. (They can be cooked immediately, or frozen at this point.)

Cooking

  • Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Place 1 T. of oil in your heated pan, swirling to coat bottom. Add gyōza in an even layer, cooking until the bottoms get a golden brown.

  • The gyōza are cooked after 5-8 min, or once all of the water has evaporated.
  • Serve them golden-side up with dipping sauce or hot chili oil. 

Dipping Sauce
