Equipment
- 50 Gyoza Wrappers Available In Asian Grocery Stores Or Homemade, About 3.5 Inches In Diameter
- Small Bowl Of Water (For Sealing The Wrappers)
- Non-Stick Frying Pan With A Lid
- Spatula Or
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Ground Pork
- 2 cup Cabbage Finely Shredded
- 2 Garlic Cloves Minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger Grated
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
Filling Ingredients:
Optional Dipping Sauce:
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, shredded cabbage, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Place a Gyoza wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges of the wrapper to moisten it. Fold the wrapper in half, creating a semi-circle, and firmly press the edges together to seal the dumpling. Use pleating or crimping techniques to create a decorative edge, if desired. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil and swirl it around to coat the pan evenly.
- Arrange the Gyoza in the pan, flat side down, without overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms turn golden brown.
- Pour water into the pan until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the Gyoza. Quickly cover the pan with a lid to trap the steam and reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Allow the Gyoza to steam for 5-6 minutes or until the wrappers become translucent and the filling is cooked through.
- Remove the lid and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms.
- Use a spatula or tongs to carefully transfer the cooked Gyoza to a serving plate, arranging them in a neat, appetizing presentation.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining Gyoza, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
- Serve the homemade Gyoza immediately, while they are still hot and crispy, alongside a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a touch of chili oil for added flavor.
