Ingredients

• 24 pieces Gyoza wrappers
• 200 grams Ground chicken or turkey (lean, optional for non-vegetarian)
• 2 cups Cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
• 3 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar (for dipping sauce, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (for dipping sauce, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Combine the filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl: lean ground chicken or turkey (if using), shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped scallions, grated ginger, minced garlic, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.

Step 2

Set up a clean workstation with the gyoza wrappers, a small bowl of water, and the mixing bowl with the filling.

Step 3

Take one gyoza wrapper and place it flat on your palm. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Dip your fingertip into the water and moisten the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape.

Step 5

Pinch the edges together and pleat the wrapper to seal it shut. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling until all gyoza are prepared.

Step 6

Prepare a bamboo or stainless steel steamer by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the gyoza in the steamer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.

Step 8

Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Place the steamer basket over the simmering water, cover with a lid, and steam the gyoza for 8-10 minutes or until the wrappers are translucent, and the filling is cooked through.

Step 9

While the gyoza are steaming, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing equal parts soy sauce and rice vinegar in a small bowl.

Step 10

Serve the steamed gyoza hot with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
