Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
• 250 grams Ground chicken or turkey
• 1 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 medium Carrot, finely grated
• 2 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 20 pieces Wonton wrappers (low-sodium, if available)
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (optional, for dipping sauce)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or turkey, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped scallions, ground ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and low-sodium soy sauce.

Step 2

Mix the filling ingredients thoroughly using clean hands or a spoon until well combined.

Step 3

Prepare a clean work surface and lay out the wonton wrappers. Place a small bowl of water nearby.

Step 4

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of each wonton wrapper.

Step 5

Dip your finger into the bowl of water and run it along the edges of the wrapper to moisten.

Step 6

Fold the wrapper in half to form a crescent shape, pressing the edges together to seal. Optionally, make small pleats along the sealed edge for a traditional gyoza look.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling until all the gyoza are assembled.

Step 8

Prepare a steamer by filling the bottom with water and bringing it to a gentle simmer. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Place the gyoza in the steamer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch each other.

Step 10

Steam the gyoza for 8–10 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the steamed gyoza to a serving plate.

Step 12

Optional: For dipping sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce with 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar.

Step 13

Serve the steamed gyoza warm with the dipping sauce on the side and enjoy!
