Ingredients

• 250 grams ground chicken
• 100 grams napa cabbage
• 2 medium scallions
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 30 pieces gyoza wrappers
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 100 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the napa cabbage and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and let it sit for 5 minutes. Squeeze out excess water from the cabbage with a clean towel or your hands.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, squeezed napa cabbage, finely chopped scallions, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3

To assemble the gyoza, place a gyoza wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edge of the wrapper.

Step 4

Place about a teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to form a semicircle. Pinch the edges and pleat to seal tightly.

Step 5

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling until all gyoza are assembled.

Step 6

In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Arrange half of the gyoza in a single layer, flat-side down, in the pan.

Step 7

Cook for about 2 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully pour 50 milliliters of water into the pan and immediately cover it with a tight-fitting lid. Steam for 4-5 minutes until the water has evaporated.

Step 9

Remove the lid and cook for another 1 minute to crisp up the bottoms.

Step 10

Repeat the cooking process for the second batch using the remaining oil and water.

Step 11

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