Fill the Wrappers
Take a gyoza wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the filling in the center. Be careful not to overfill. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water to help seal.

Fold and Seal
Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal, making sure there are no air pockets. You can create pleats along the edge for a traditional look.
