Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup, finely chopped Cabbage
- 0.5 pound Ground pork
- 2 Green onions
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 25 pieces Gyoza wrappers
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped cabbage, ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green onions.
Add the low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch to the mixture and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Take a gyoza wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and lightly wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
Pleat the edges of the wrapper by making small folds and pressing to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place gyozas flat side down in the skillet, without crowding, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet, cover immediately with a lid, and let steam for approximately 4-5 minutes until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and drizzle another tablespoon of vegetable oil around the edge of the pan. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes to crisp the bottoms.
Transfer the cooked gyozas to a serving plate. Serve hot with your choice of low-sodium dipping sauce.
