Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Vegan gyoza wrappers
- 200 grams Plant-based chicken
- 150 grams Napa cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Finely chop the napa cabbage and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle salt over it, mix well, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Using a clean cloth or paper towel, squeeze out the excess moisture from the cabbage.
Grate the carrot and finely chop the green onions.
Mince garlic cloves and grate the ginger.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plant-based chicken, squeezed cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, garlic, and ginger.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
Place a gyoza wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.
Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal. Continue this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
Arrange half of the gyozas in the pan, flat side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully add 1/8 cup of water to the pan, cover immediately with a lid, and steam the gyozas for about 4-5 minutes until cooked through.
Remove the lid and let the water evaporate. Allow the gyozas to crisp up again for 1-2 minutes.
Remove the cooked gyozas and repeat the process with the remaining batch.
Serve the vegan chicken gyozas warm with dipping sauce of your choice.
