Ingredients

• 24 pieces Vegan gyoza wrappers
• 200 grams Plant-based chicken
• 150 grams Napa cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the napa cabbage and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle salt over it, mix well, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Step 2

Using a clean cloth or paper towel, squeeze out the excess moisture from the cabbage.

Step 3

Grate the carrot and finely chop the green onions.

Step 4

Mince garlic cloves and grate the ginger.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the plant-based chicken, squeezed cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, garlic, and ginger.

Step 6

Add soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 7

Place a gyoza wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 8

Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal. Continue this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Arrange half of the gyozas in the pan, flat side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Carefully add 1/8 cup of water to the pan, cover immediately with a lid, and steam the gyozas for about 4-5 minutes until cooked through.

Step 12

Remove the lid and let the water evaporate. Allow the gyozas to crisp up again for 1-2 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the cooked gyozas and repeat the process with the remaining batch.

Step 14

Serve the vegan chicken gyozas warm with dipping sauce of your choice.
