Delicious Gyoza Recipe - Authentic Chinese Dumplings

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water (warm)
  • 200 grams ground pork
  • 1 cup cabbage (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch ginger (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon green onion (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water (for cooking)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Make the Dough

    In a bowl, mix flour and warm water until a dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes.

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.
  2. Prepare the Filling

    In another bowl, combine ground pork, cabbage, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onion, black pepper, cornstarch, and salt. Mix well.

    Taste the filling and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  3. Roll the Dough

    Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter.

    Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
  4. Fill the Gyoza

    Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold and pinch to seal.

    Make sure there are no air pockets when sealing.
  5. Cook the Gyoza

    Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil. Add gyoza and cook until the bottoms are golden. Add water, cover, and steam for 5 minutes.

    Remove lid and let cook for an additional 2 minutes to crisp the bottoms.
