Ingredients

• 250 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 25 pieces Gyoza wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 100 milliliters Water
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (for dipping)
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (for dipping)
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili oil (optional, for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the shrimp into a paste-like consistency using a knife, or pulse a few times in a food processor.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, minced garlic, green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Wet the edges of the wrapper with a small amount of water. Fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to seal, pleating one side as you press to create a half-moon shape.

Step 5

Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, keeping the prepared gyoza covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange half of the gyoza in the skillet, flat side down, ensuring they do not touch each other.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Carefully pour 50 milliliters of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the gyoza for 5-6 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.

Step 9

Remove the lid and cook for an additional minute to allow the bottoms to crisp up again. Transfer the cooked gyoza to a plate and cover to keep warm while you cook the rest.

Step 10

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining gyoza, using the remaining oil and water.

Step 11

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil (if using) to create the dipping sauce.

Step 12

Serve the shrimp gyoza hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
