Ingredients

• 2 cups Green cabbage
• 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Carrots, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 3 units Green onions, finely sliced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 30 units Gyoza wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the filling: In a large bowl, combine the finely chopped green cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, grated carrots, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced green onions.

Step 2

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper to the vegetable mixture and mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 3

Take a gyoza wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand. Scoop about a teaspoon of the filling and place it in the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Moisten the edge of the wrapper with water using your fingertip. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and press the edges together to seal, pleating the edges if desired to create a traditional gyoza shape.

Step 5

Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place the gyoza in the skillet, flat side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet (beware of sputtering), then cover immediately with a lid.

Step 9

Allow the gyoza to steam for 5 minutes or until most of the water evaporates.

Step 10

Remove the lid and let the gyoza continue to cook until the bottoms are crisp again, about 2 more minutes.

Step 11

Transfer the cooked gyoza to a serving plate. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining gyoza, adding more oil as needed.

Step 12

Serve the vegetable gyoza hot with soy sauce or your choice of dipping sauce.
