Dumpling Wrappers

Dipping Sauce

Method

Dumpling Wrappers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the boiling water while stirring with chopsticks or a fork until a shaggy dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for at least 30 minutes.

Filling

  1. 3

    Make the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Assembling Gyoza

  1. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    Divide the rested dough into small pieces (about 1 inch each). Roll each piece into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter.

  2. 5

    Fill the Wrappers

    Place a small spoonful of the filling (about 1 teaspoon) in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges with a little water, fold the wrapper over the filling and pinch to seal tightly.

Cooking Gyoza

  1. 6

    Pan-Fry the Gyoza

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Place the gyoza in the skillet flat side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Steam the Gyoza

    Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately. Allow the gyoza to steam for about 5-7 minutes until the water has evaporated.

Dipping Sauce

  1. 8

    Prepare the Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, and hot mustard. Mix well and serve with the gyoza.
