Instructions

Step 1: Finely chop 200 grams raw shrimp or pulse briefly in a food processor until roughly minced. In a bowl, mix the shrimp with 2 finely chopped green onions, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon minced ginger, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until combined and sticky.
Step 2: Place a gyoza wrapper on a clean surface and add about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold in half, and pinch tightly to seal with small pleats. Repeat for remaining wrappers.
Step 3: Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add 6-8 gyoza at a time and fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce for dipping.
