Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is my recipe that I devised over several test runs! Enjoy!

Gyoza - Japanese Potstickers :

Filling:
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 of a head of shredded and finely chopped Napa cabbage
3 green onion or garlic chives, diced
1 piece of ginger 2 in long, 1 inch wide, grated
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon siracha, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
30 gyoza wrappers, or as needed

Sauce:
1 part soy sauce
1 part seasoned rice vinegar
1/4 part sesame oil
siracha to taste


How to:

-- In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, cabbage, green onion, minced ginger, soy sauce, siracha and sesame oil.

-- Lay a gyoza wrapper in front of you. Wet all the edges with water. Place a teaspoon of filling in the middle of the wrapper. Fold the sides up to form a semicircle, and then pinch the edges to seal. Continue with the rest of the gyoza wrappers until the filling is gone.

-- To cook, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 12 - 15 of the gyoza and cook for 2 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom.

-- Add 1/2 cup of water (if you want crispy gyoza add 1/2 Tablespoon of flour to the water and mix well) to the pan. Cover the dumplings and cook until the water is absorbed (5 to 7 minutes). Repeat with the remainder of the gyoza dumplings. wink
