Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 100 grams Cabbage
• 1 medium Carrot
• 4 pieces Green onions
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 24 pieces Gyoza wrappers
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 120 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the cabbage and place it in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and set aside for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. After 10 minutes, squeeze out the water from the cabbage using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

Step 2

Grate the carrot and mince the garlic and ginger. Chop the green onions finely.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, cabbage, grated carrot, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

Prepare a small bowl of water for sealing the gyoza wrappers. Take one gyoza wrapper and place about one tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center.

Step 5

Dip your finger into the bowl of water and wet the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape, then pinch and pleat the edges together to seal.

Step 6

Repeat this process until all the wrappers are filled and sealed.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the gyoza, flat side down, in a single layer. Fry for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully add the water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium and steam for 8 minutes until the water has completely evaporated.

Step 9

Remove the lid and allow the gyoza to cook for another 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms again. Remove from the pan and serve hot with dipping sauce of your choice.
