Description

Delight in the savory flavors of homemade pan-fried gyoza, featuring a juicy filling of ground pork and fresh vegetables encased in a crispy wrapper.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz ground pork (about 280 g)
  • 1 cup finely chopped napa cabbage (about 70 g)
  • 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped (about 30 g)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced (about 15 g)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (about 30 ml)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (about 5 ml)
  • About 30 gyoza wrappers (7-inch round)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (about 30 ml) for frying
  • 1/4 cup water (about 60 ml) for steaming

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling by combining the ground pork, napa cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a large mixing bowl. Mix until just combined.
  2. Wrap each gyoza wrapper around 1 tablespoon of filling, sealing the edges tightly.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.
  4. Fry the gyoza flat side down for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Steam by adding 1/4 cup water and covering with a lid for 5-6 minutes.
  6. Uncover and cook for another 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute ground pork with ground chicken or tofu. Make-ahead tips: Prepare the filling ahead of time and freeze uncooked gyoza for later.
