Ingredients

• 2 cups (finely shredded) Cabbage
• 1 medium (grated) Carrot
• 3 stalks (finely chopped) Green onion
• 1 cup (finely diced) Water chestnuts
• 1 teaspoon (grated) Ginger
• 1 clove (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
• 30 pieces Egg-free gyoza wrappers
• 0.25 cup (for sealing the wrappers) Water
• 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onion, diced water chestnuts, grated ginger, and minced garlic.

Step 2

Add sesame oil, salt, and rice vinegar to the vegetable mixture. Stir everything together until well combined. Set the filling aside.

Step 3

Lightly dust a clean surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Lay out one gyoza wrapper and place approximately 1 heaping teaspoon of the vegetable filling in the center.

Step 4

Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly, pleating as you go to seal the gyoza. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5

Once all gyozas are prepared, line a bamboo steamer or similar steaming basket with parchment paper (with small holes cut out for ventilation). Arrange the gyozas in a single layer, leaving some space between each to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Bring a pot of water to a boil and set the prepared steamer over the pot. Steam the gyozas for 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are soft and translucent.

Step 7

Carefully remove the steamed gyozas from the basket and serve immediately with your favorite soy-free dipping sauce, such as a mix of rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of chili flakes.
