Ingredients

• 250 grams Lean ground chicken
• 1 cup Cabbage, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 inch Ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce, low sodium
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 25 pieces Gyoza wrappers
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped cabbage, grated carrot, sliced green onions, minced garlic, and minced ginger.

Step 2

Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Prepare a clean, dry surface and arrange the gyoza wrappers. Have a small bowl of water nearby to help seal the edges of the wrappers.

Step 4

Take one gyoza wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center.

Step 5

Moisten the edge of the wrapper lightly with water using your fingertip.

Step 6

Fold the wrapper in half to encase the filling, and press the edges together to seal, creating small pleats along the edge.

Step 7

Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat with an olive oil spray.

Step 9

Arrange the gyoza in the pan, flat-side down, making sure they are not touching.

Step 10

Let the gyoza cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 11

Add about 1/4 cup of water to the pan and cover immediately to create steam.

Step 12

Allow the gyoza to steam for about 5 minutes or until the water has evaporated.

Step 13

Remove the lid and allow the gyoza to cook for an additional 2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms again.

Step 14

Remove from the pan and serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
