Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Gyoza wrappers
- 250 grams Ground pork
- 100 grams Cabbage
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Finely shred the cabbage and squeeze out excess moisture. Chop the green onions, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
In a large bowl, combine ground pork, cabbage, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Grate the cheddar cheese. Divide into 24 small portions to be used for stuffing.
Take one gyoza wrapper and lay it flat on a workspace. Place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center, then add a portion of cheese.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper over, pressing the edges to form pleats and seal the gyoza into a half-moon shape. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place gyoza in the skillet, seam-side up, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
Carefully add water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the gyoza for about 5 minutes, until the water evaporates.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes to crisp up the bottom again.
Serve the cheese gyoza hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
