Ingredients

• 40 pieces Gyoza wrappers
• 200 grams Lean ground chicken
• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 150 grams Cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot
• 3 stalks Scallions
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your filling: crumble the tofu and drain any excess water by pressing it between paper towels.

Step 2

Finely chop the cabbage, carrot, and scallions. Grate the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, crumbled tofu, cabbage, carrot, scallions, garlic, and ginger.

Step 4

Add soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

Step 5

Place a gyoza wrapper on a clean surface. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 6

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your fingertip, fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half moon shape, and press the edges together to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

Step 8

Once the oil is hot, place gyozas in the pan flat side down. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 9

Pour in 1/4 cup of water and cover the pan with a lid immediately to steam the gyozas.

Step 10

Allow them to steam for 4-5 minutes or until the water has completely evaporated.

Step 11

Remove the lid, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil if needed, and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.

Step 12

Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces such as soy sauce or a mix of soy sauce with a dash of rice vinegar.
