Ingredients

• 1 cup, finely chopped cabbage
• 1 cup, finely chopped shiitake mushrooms
• 1 medium, grated carrot
• 3 stalks, finely chopped green onions
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 inch, grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 24 squares wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch to the bowl of vegetables and mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface and spoon about 1 teaspoon of the vegetable mixture into the center of each wrapper.

Step 4

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your finger. Fold the wrapper to form a half-moon shape, pressing to seal the edges and ensuring there are no air bubbles.

Step 5

Optional: Create pleats by folding the edge of the wrapper over itself, starting from one corner to the other, to form traditional gyoza wrappers.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place as many gyoza as will fit in a single layer in the pan, flat side down. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan and cover immediately with a lid. Allow the gyoza to steam for about 5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the wrappers are cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the lid and let them cook for another 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms further.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining gyoza, using the second tablespoon of oil and remaining water.

Step 11

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
