Ingredients

• 300 grams Chicken breast, skinless and boneless
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 24 pieces Gyoza wrappers
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the chicken breast into small pieces or pulse in a food processor until ground.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped chicken, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, green onions, shredded cabbage, and grated carrot. Mix until ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Place a gyoza wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Add about a teaspoon of the chicken mixture into the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Use a little water to moisten the edge of the wrapper, then fold the wrapper in half, sealing the edges to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges gently to ensure they stick together, creating pleats if desired.

Step 5

Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the gyozas in the skillet, flat side down, in a single layer without overcrowding.

Step 7

Cook the gyozas for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and quickly cover with a lid. Steam the gyozas for about 5-6 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the gyozas are fully cooked.

Step 9

Remove the lid and allow any remaining water to evaporate, cooking an additional 2 minutes for crisp edges.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as low-sodium soy sauce mixed with a dash of rice vinegar.
