Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams ground chicken
- 200 grams extra-firm tofu
- 150 grams grated cheddar cheese
- 2 pieces green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 30 pieces gyoza wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 100 milliliters water
Instructions
In a large bowl, crumble the extra-firm tofu using your hands until it resembles small curds.
Add the ground chicken, grated cheddar cheese, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the bowl.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. This will be your gyoza filling.
Take one gyoza wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand. Spoon about a teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold it over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal completely, using pleats if desired.
Repeat this process with the remaining filling and wrappers.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the gyozas in the skillet, flat side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Once browned, carefully pour in 100 milliliters of water and cover the skillet immediately with a lid.
Allow the gyozas to steam for about 5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and let them cook for another minute to re-crisp the bottoms.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
