Ingredients

• 250 grams ground pork
• 100 grams napa cabbage
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
• 30 pieces gyoza wrappers
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 120 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Thinly slice the green onions.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, prepared napa cabbage, minced garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands until well combined.

Step 4

Take a gyoza wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center. Moisten the edge of the wrapper with water using your finger.

Step 5

Fold the wrapper over to create a half-moon shape and then pleat the edges to seal the dumpling. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Place the gyoza in the pan flat-side down, in a circular arrangement making sure they are not touching.

Step 8

Cook the gyoza until the bottom turns golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Pour 120 milliliters of water into the pan and cover it immediately with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium and let the gyoza steam for about 5 minutes or until the water evaporates.

Step 10

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the bottoms to crisp up again.

Step 11

Remove from heat and serve hot with dipping sauce of your choice.
