Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 200 grams Plant-based chicken strips
- 1 cup Cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 stalks Spring onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- to taste Chili sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
Finely chop the plant-based chicken strips into small pieces. Grate the cabbage and carrot. Thinly slice the spring onions. Mince the garlic and ginger.
In a bowl, combine the chopped plant-based chicken, cabbage, carrot, spring onions, garlic, and ginger. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Take one wonton wrapper and place a teaspoon of filling in the center. Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wrapper.
Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal, making sure no air is trapped inside.
Pleat the edges if desired for a more traditional gyoza look. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the gyozas, flat side down, in the skillet. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully add 0.25 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the gyozas for approximately 5 minutes, until the wrappers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing any remaining water to evaporate and the bottoms to crisp up again.
Transfer the gyozas to a serving plate. Serve hot with chili sauce for dipping.
