Recipe shared by Hikari Mill, originally from Japan, but now resides in Edmonton.
220 grams ground pork
1.5 cups cabbage, finely minced by hand or in a food processor
4-5 green onions, chopped finely
1 tsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp Sake
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp chicken stock
1/2 tsp sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 package round gyoza wrappers
3 tbsp canola oil
1/3 cup water
In a large bowl, add the first 11 ingredients and mix well.
Take a round gyoza wrapper in your hand and place a tablespoon size of meat mixture in the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edge with water and fold the upper half of the wrapper to the lower half to create a half moon shape.
Fold one of the edges in a series of pleats, leaving the other edge smooth. Press the edges together to seal the gyoza. Watch this video for a tutorial on gyoza folding.
Heat a pan at medium high heat and add oil canola. Place gyoza on a pan and cook until the bottom becomes golden brown (1-2 minutes).
Add water and immediately cover with a lid. Cook until water boils away.
Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil together for dipping sauce.
