Enjoy a healthy twist on a traditional favorite with this Whole30 Prawn Gyoza recipe! Perfectly seasoned prawns are combined with vibrant shredded carrots, spring onions, garlic, and ginger, and wrapped in tender cabbage leaves for a completely grain-free and gluten-free take on the classic Japanese dumpling. The filling is elevated with coconut aminos and sesame oil, delivering a savory umami punch while staying compliant with Whole30 guidelines. Pan-seared to golden perfection and steamed until tender, these gyozas are a delightfully crispy yet juicy appetizer or light main dish. Serve them piping hot and savor every bite of this guilt-free, flavorful creation!
Finely chop the prawns and place in a mixing bowl.
Add the shredded carrot, chopped spring onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, coconut aminos, sesame oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Blanch the cabbage leaves for about 1 minute or until slightly soft. Remove and transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain thoroughly.
Lay a cabbage leaf flat on a work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of prawn filling onto the leaf. Fold the leaf over the filling and pleat the edges tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place gyozas in the skillet, seam side up. Cook until the bottom turns golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Pour in 1/4 cup of water, cover, and let the gyozas steam for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the prawns are cooked through and the cabbage is tender.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Prawn Gyoza!
