Ingredients

• 1 cup, finely chopped Cabbage
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 2 Green onions
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 25 pieces Gyoza wrappers
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped cabbage, ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green onions.

Step 2

Add the low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch to the mixture and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

Take a gyoza wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Dip your finger in water and lightly wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape.

Step 5

Pleat the edges of the wrapper by making small folds and pressing to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Place gyozas flat side down in the skillet, without crowding, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 8

Pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet, cover immediately with a lid, and let steam for approximately 4-5 minutes until the water has evaporated.

Step 9

Remove the lid and drizzle another tablespoon of vegetable oil around the edge of the pan. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes to crisp the bottoms.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked gyozas to a serving plate. Serve hot with your choice of low-sodium dipping sauce.
