Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Boiling water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Shredded green cabbage
• 0.5 cup Shredded carrot
• 0.5 cup Finely chopped shiitake mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (like vegetable oil)
• 0.33 cup Water (for steaming)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add boiling water while stirring with a spoon or chopsticks. Once the mixture comes together, knead it into a smooth dough. Cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the shredded cabbage, carrot, mushrooms, scallions, ginger, and garlic. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 3

Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce to the vegetables, stir well, and cook for another minute. Remove the filling from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Divide the rested dough into 24 equal portions and roll each portion into a small ball. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, pinch the edges together, and pleat to seal.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the gyozas in a single layer, flat side down, and cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 7

Pour 1/3 cup of water into the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Steam the gyozas for 5–6 minutes until the water evaporates and the tops are tender.

Step 8

Remove the lid and cook uncovered for another minute to crisp up the bottoms again. Repeat this process with the remaining gyozas.

Step 9

Serve warm with soy sauce, chili oil, or your favorite dipping sauce.
