Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground chicken
• 100 grams Firm tofu
• 50 grams Shelled edamame
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 24 pieces Gyoza wrappers
• 0 as needed Water
• 2 tablespoons Vinegar (for dipping sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili oil (optional, for dipping sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Use a tofu press or wrap it in a clean towel and place a heavy object on top for 10-15 minutes.

Step 2

Finely chop the green onions, garlic, and ginger.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, crumble the pressed tofu and add ground chicken, chopped edamame, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Place one gyoza wrapper on a flat surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture to the center of the wrapper.

Step 5

Dip your finger in a small bowl of water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a crescent shape and press firmly to seal. Pleat the edges if desired.

Step 6

Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. You should have about 24 gyoza.

Step 7

Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking. Arrange the gyoza in the steamer, ensuring they don’t touch each other.

Step 8

Bring a pot of water to a boil and place the steamer basket on top. Cover with a lid and steam the gyoza for 8-10 minutes, until the filling is cooked through.

Step 9

While the gyoza are steaming, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil (if using) in a small bowl.

Step 10

Once steamed, remove the gyoza from the basket and serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
