Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 1 cup Cabbage
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 40 pieces Gyoza wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the cabbage and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Slice the green onions thinly and add them to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger, then add them to the cabbage and green onions.

Step 4

Add the ground chicken, salt, sesame oil, and black pepper to the mixing bowl.

Step 5

Use your hands or a spatula to mix everything until well combined.

Step 6

Prepare a small bowl of water, which will be used to seal the gyoza wrappers.

Step 7

Lay out a gyoza wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Step 8

Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the wrapper.

Step 9

Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pressing the edges to seal.

Step 10

Set the completed gyoza on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Arrange half of the gyozas in the skillet, seam-side up, being careful not to overcrowd them.

Step 13

Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Step 14

Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover immediately, and lower the heat to medium. Steam the gyozas until the water has evaporated, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 15

Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook until the bottoms are crisp again, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 16

Transfer the cooked gyozas to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining gyozas.

Step 17

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
