Ingredients

• 300 grams Ground pork
• 150 grams Cabbage
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 40 pieces Gyoza wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 125 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the cabbage and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, mix, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out the moisture.

Step 2

After 10 minutes, squeeze the cabbage with your hands or a clean towel to remove excess liquid. Transfer the cabbage to a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Mince the green onions, garlic, and ginger, then add them to the mixing bowl with the cabbage.

Step 4

Add the ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until the filling is well combined and sticky.

Step 5

Prepare a clean surface to assemble the dumplings. Place a small dish of water nearby to use as a sealing agent.

Step 6

Take one gyoza wrapper and place 1 teaspoon of the pork filling in the center. Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger.

Step 7

Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, pinching the edges together to seal. Optionally, create pleats along the sealed edge for a traditional look. Repeat with all wrappers and filling.

Step 8

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the dumplings flat-side down in the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd.

Step 9

Cook the dumplings for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 10

Carefully add 125 milliliters of water to the pan (it will sizzle!) and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the dumplings for 7-8 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.

Step 11

Remove the lid and allow the dumplings to cook for another 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.

Step 12

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dumplings, adding more oil as necessary.

Step 13

Serve the gyoza hot with soy sauce, rice vinegar, or a gyoza dipping sauce on the side.
