Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a medium bowl, combine all Pork Filling ingredients. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
To assemble the gyoza, place a small spoonful of the filling (about 1-1.5 teaspoons) in the center of a gyoza wrapper. Moisten the edge of half the wrapper with water.
Fold the wrapper in half, creating a half-moon shape. Pleat one side of the wrapper to seal the dumpling, pressing firmly to ensure no air pockets.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a small bowl, whisk together all Dipping Sauce ingredients.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the gyoza in the skillet in a single layer, flat side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add the water to the skillet (it will steam), immediately cover with a tight-fitting lid, and reduce heat to medium-low. Steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to allow any remaining liquid to evaporate. Cook for another minute until the bottoms are crispy again.
Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
