Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Gyoza wrappers
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Feta cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, feta cheese, and Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Add the minced garlic, chopped spinach, black pepper, and salt to the cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Place a gyoza wrapper on a clean surface. Keep the remaining wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling onto the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the outer edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to enclose the filling and press the edges together to seal. Use your fingers to create little pleats along the sealed edge.
Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Place half of the gyoza in the skillet, pleated side up, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet and cover with a lid immediately to steam the gyoza. Allow them to steam for about 4-5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the bottoms are crispy again. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining gyoza.
Serve the gyoza hot with your choice of dipping sauce. Enjoy!
