Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the flavorful filling: In a mixing bowl, gently combine the ground pork, shredded napa cabbage, thinly sliced green onions, egg, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Assemble the Gyoza: Lay the gyoza wrappers on a clean, flat surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the pork mixture in the center of each wrapper. Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingertip or a small brush. Fold the wrapper in half to form a semicircle, and pinch the edges firmly to seal, creating pleats for an authentic touch. (Prep time: 20 minutes)

03

Step

Pan-fry to perfection: Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully arrange 12-15 gyoza in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook until the bottoms are beautifully golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup of water, immediately cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid, and steam until the water is completely absorbed, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked gyoza to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining gyoza. (Cook time per batch: 7-9 minutes)

04

Step

Whip up the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a dash of Sriracha sauce to taste. Adjust the ratios to your preference. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Serve and savor: Arrange the golden-brown gyoza on a platter and serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce. Enjoy the symphony of flavors and textures! (Serve time: 1 minute)

For extra crispy bottoms, avoid moving the gyoza around too much while pan-frying.
Make a larger batch and freeze uncooked gyoza for a quick and easy meal. Simply pan-fry them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Experiment with different fillings! Chicken, shrimp, or vegetarian options work wonderfully.
If you can't find gyoza wrappers, wonton wrappers can be used as a substitute, though they may require a bit more effort to seal properly.

    I tried steaming them instead of pan-frying, and they were still fantastic, just a bit softer.

  • Vena Hansen

    I added a bit of grated apple to the filling for a touch of sweetness. It was a game changer!
