Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Ground pork
- 150 grams Cabbage
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 40 pieces Gyoza wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 125 milliliters Water
Instructions
Finely chop the cabbage and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, mix, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out the moisture.
After 10 minutes, squeeze the cabbage with your hands or a clean towel to remove excess liquid. Transfer the cabbage to a mixing bowl.
Mince the green onions, garlic, and ginger, then add them to the mixing bowl with the cabbage.
Add the ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until the filling is well combined and sticky.
Prepare a clean surface to assemble the dumplings. Place a small dish of water nearby to use as a sealing agent.
Take one gyoza wrapper and place 1 teaspoon of the pork filling in the center. Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger.
Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, pinching the edges together to seal. Optionally, create pleats along the sealed edge for a traditional look. Repeat with all wrappers and filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the dumplings flat-side down in the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd.
Cook the dumplings for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add 125 milliliters of water to the pan (it will sizzle!) and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the dumplings for 7-8 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and allow the dumplings to cook for another 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dumplings, adding more oil as necessary.
Serve the gyoza hot with soy sauce, rice vinegar, or a gyoza dipping sauce on the side.
