Ingredients

• 100 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 200 grams Green cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce, low sodium
• 20 pieces Gyoza wrappers
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 100 milliliters Water
• 0 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, grated ginger, and low-fat mozzarella cheese. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the low sodium soy sauce and sesame oil to the vegetable and cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

Lay out the gyoza wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Place approximately one teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.

Step 4

Using your finger, wet the edge of each wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets.

Step 5

Lightly coat a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.

Step 6

Place the gyoza in the skillet, flat side down, in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 7

Carefully add 100 ml of water to the skillet and cover immediately with a lid. Steam the gyoza for about 5 minutes or until the wrappers become translucent and the water has evaporated.

Step 8

Remove the lid and let the gyoza cook for another minute to re-crisp the bottoms.

Step 9

Transfer the gyoza to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining gyoza, if necessary.

Step 10

Serve warm with additional soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
