Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (12 oz) gyoza wrappers
- 1 lb ground pork (preferably with some fat)
- 1 cup shredded Napa cabbage
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
- Water (for steaming)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine ground pork, shredded cabbage, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Mix until well incorporated.
- 2. Season: Add soy sauce and rice vinegar to the mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
- 3. Assemble: Place about one tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Wet the edges with water, fold over to create half-moons, and pinch tightly to seal.
- 4. Cook: Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange gyozas flat-side down and fry until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
- 5. Steam: Carefully pour in half a cup of water and cover immediately with a lid. Steam for about five minutes or until cooked through.
- 6. Serve: Transfer cooked gyozas onto plates and drizzle with additional soy sauce for dipping.
