Ingredients

• 25 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 1 cup Low sodium ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Low sodium shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.25 cup Salt-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the low sodium ricotta cheese, low sodium shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped chives, garlic powder, and ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Using a teaspoon, place a small dollop of the cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Brush the edges of the wrapper with a little bit of the beaten egg. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal.

Step 4

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the gyozas flat side down in a single layer. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Pour the water into the skillet. Immediately cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes to steam the gyozas.

Step 7

Remove the lid and continue to cook until the water has evaporated and the bottoms are crisp, about 2 more minutes.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix together the salt-free soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and grated ginger to create a dipping sauce.

Step 9

Serve the gyozas hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
