Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons, grated ginger
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 cup, finely chopped shiitake mushrooms
• 1 cup, finely shredded green cabbage
• 2 stalks, finely chopped green onions
• 0.5 cup, grated carrot
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 30 pieces gyoza wrappers
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped shiitake mushrooms, shredded green cabbage, chopped green onions, and grated carrot.

Step 2

Add the soy sauce and sesame oil to the vegetable mixture and stir until evenly combined.

Step 3

To form the gyoza, take one gyoza wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand. Spoon about one teaspoon of the vegetable filling into the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Wet the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water, then fold it in half to form a semi-circle, pressing the edges together to seal. You can create pleats along the edges to ensure a tight seal.

Step 5

Repeat the process with the rest of the wrappers and filling.

Step 6

In a non-stick skillet, heat one tablespoon of neutral oil over medium-high heat. Add the gyoza in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 7

Cook the gyoza for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid immediately. This will steam the gyoza, cooking them through. Let them steam for another 4-5 minutes.

Step 9

Once the water has evaporated, remove the lid and drizzle a little more oil if needed to re-crisp the bottoms for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked gyoza to a plate and repeat with the remaining gyoza.

Step 11

Serve the vegetarian gyoza hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
