It's not well known that gyoza originated in China. Gyoza are also known as Japanese potstickers - it's very difficult to eat just one!

Serves 8 to 10 (as an appetizer)

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound ground pork (1 cup)
• 3/4 cup shredded Napa cabbage
• 1 green onion, diced
• 2 teaspoons minced ginger
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon hot chili oil, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
• 30 gyoza wrappers, or as needed

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes

• Total Time: 35 minutes

Preparation

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the shredded cabbage until it is tender but still crisp. Plunge into ice cold water, remove, and drain thoroughly.

In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork, cooked cabbage, green onion, minced ginger, egg, soy sauce, chili oil and sesame oil.

Lay a gyoza wrapper in front of you. Wet all the edges with water. Place a teaspoon of filling in the middle of the wrapper.

Fold the sides up to form a semicircle, and then pinch the edges to seal. Continue with the rest of the gyoza wrappers until the filling is gone.

To cook, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy frying pan over medium-high to high heat. Add 12 - 15 of the gyoza and cook for 2 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom.

Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Cover the dumplings and cook until the water is absorbed (5 to 7 minutes). Repeat with the remainder of the gyoza dumplings..]
