Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 quarter cups Hot water
• 1 pound Pork mince
• 1 cup Cabbage, finely chopped
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, gluten-free
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Water, for steaming

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Gradually add hot water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Step 2

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

For the filling, in another bowl, combine pork mince, chopped cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, gluten-free soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 4

Divide the rested dough into two portions. Roll out each portion on a lightly floured surface until it's about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 5

Using a round cutter, cut out circles from the rolled dough, approximately 3 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Moisten the edge with a little water, fold the dough to form a half-moon shape, and press the edges firmly to seal.

Step 7

Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Arrange the gyozas in the pan with the pleated side up. Cook for about 3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully add 1/2 cup of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Lower the heat to medium-low and steam the gyozas for about 8 minutes or until the water has evaporated.

Step 9

Remove the lid and continue cooking the gyozas for another 2 minutes or until crispy on the bottom.

Step 10

Serve the gyozas hot, with additional gluten-free soy sauce for dipping.
