Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups green cabbage, very finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 500 g ground chicken
- 1 cup garlic chives, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (for dusting tray)
- 40 to 45 round gyoza wrappers
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Soy sauce, to taste (for dipping)
- Rice wine vinegar, to taste (for dipping)
- Chili oil, to taste (for dipping)
Instructions
- Combine chopped cabbage with half the salt and let it sit for 20 minutes to soften and release moisture.
- In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, remaining salt, garlic chives, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, cornstarch, and soy sauce.
- Squeeze excess liquid from cabbage and add to the filling. Mix thoroughly with hands.
- Dust a tray with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
- Place a wrapper in your palm, wet half the edge, and add a heaping tablespoon of filling to the center.
- Fold the wrapper over, pleat the edge, and seal it. Place on the prepared tray. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange gyoza in rows and cook until bottoms are golden.
- Add about 1/3 cup water, cover the skillet, and steam until water evaporates and wrappers become translucent.
- Remove lid and cook briefly to crisp up the bottom. Transfer to plate crispy side up.
- Serve hot with dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and chili oil.
Notes
- Garlic chives can be substituted with green onions and extra garlic.
- Add mushrooms to the filling for more depth of flavor.
- Freeze uncooked gyoza in a single layer to prevent sticking.
- Reheat cooked gyoza in a skillet to restore crispiness.
- Use square wrappers if round ones aren’t available—adjust folding style.
