Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the mozzarella and cream cheese together, stirring until smooth.
Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the almond flour and egg to form a dough. Knead until well combined and smooth.
Divide the dough into 16 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a 3-inch circle to form the gyoza wrapper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper.
Place about a tablespoon of the pork mixture onto the center of each gyoza wrapper.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal, using a little water if necessary to help them stick. You can also pleat the edges for a traditional look.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the gyoza to the pan and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully add water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Steam the gyoza for about 4-5 minutes until the filling is cooked through.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium to evaporate any remaining water and re-crisp the bottoms.
Serve the gyoza warm, with additional soy sauce for dipping if desired.
