Ingredients

• 300 grams Ground beef
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 1 medium Carrot
• 100 grams Napa cabbage
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 30 pieces Gyoza wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vegetables by finely chopping the green onions and mincing the garlic. Grate the ginger and the carrot, and finely shred the napa cabbage.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, green onions, garlic, ginger, carrot, and napa cabbage.

Step 3

Add the low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar to the mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined.

Step 4

Place a gyoza wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the beef mixture into the center of the wrapper.

Step 5

Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold the wrapper in half to enclose the filling. Seal the edges by pressing firmly and creating pleats. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the gyozas in the skillet, flat side down, without overcrowding.

Step 7

Cook the gyozas for about 3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 8

Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the gyozas to steam for 8 minutes or until the water has evaporated.

Step 9

Remove the lid and let the gyozas cook for an additional 2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining gyozas, adding more oil and water as necessary.

Step 11

Serve the gyozas hot, accompanied by your choice of dipping sauce, ideally low sodium.
