Ingredients

• 300 grams Ground chicken
• 100 grams Cabbage, finely chopped
• 2 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 50 grams Carrots, finely grated
• 2 tablespoons Salt-free soy sauce alternative
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 40 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Oil for frying
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the salt-free soy sauce alternative and sesame oil to the mixture and stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and press the edges together to seal. Pleat the edges for a traditional look, if desired.

Step 5

Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Arrange the gyozas in the skillet, flat side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 8

Add 0.5 cup of water to the skillet, immediately cover with a lid, and steam the gyozas for about 5-7 minutes or until the water has evaporated.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the gyozas hot with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as reduced sodium soy sauce or a vinegar-based dipping sauce.
