Ingredients

• 1 cup, finely chopped cabbage
• 1 medium, grated carrot
• 1 cup, finely chopped shiitake mushrooms
• 3 stalks, finely chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon, grated ginger
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 30 wrappers gyoza wrappers (dairy-free and gluten-free if preferred)
• 0.25 cup, for sealing wrappers water
• 1 teaspoon, for steaming pan neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped cabbage, grated carrot, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasonings.

Step 2

Lay out one gyoza wrapper on a clean surface. Place a small spoonful (around 1 teaspoon) of the filling in the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Wet the edge of the wrapper with a small amount of water using your fingertip. Fold the wrapper in half to enclose the filling, making a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges firmly together, pleating the wrapper as you go for a traditional gyoza look. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet with a lid over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of neutral oil to the pan and swirl to coat.

Step 5

Arrange the gyoza in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they do not touch. Cook for about 2 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 6

Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with the lid to create steam. Reduce the heat to low and steam the gyoza for 6-7 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is fully cooked.

Step 7

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any remaining water and crisp up the bottoms.

Step 8

Transfer the steamed gyoza to a plate and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce with a splash of rice vinegar and a drizzle of sesame oil.
