Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

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

  2. 2

    Fill the Dumplings

    Take a gyoza wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the pork filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it in half, and pinch the edges to seal. You can create pleats for a decorative touch if desired. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Gyoza

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the gyoza in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Carefully pour in about 1/4 cup of water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the gyoza to steam for about 5-6 minutes until the water has evaporated.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the lid and let the gyoza cook for an additional minute to crisp up the bottoms. Serve warm with soy sauce for dipping.
