Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 250g ground pork, 1 cup finely chopped green cabbage, 2 finely chopped green onions, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Place about 1 tsp of the filling in the center of each of the 30 gyoza wrappers. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper in half, pleating the edges to seal tightly.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the gyoza in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp.
  4. Step 4: Carefully pour 1/3 cup water into the skillet and immediately cover. Steam the dumplings for 5 minutes until the water evaporates and the filling is cooked through.
  5. Step 5: For the dipping sauce, combine 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl. Serve the gyoza hot with this sauce on the side.
