Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Flour and Salt

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tsp of salt.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Gradually add 3 tbs of water to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough begins to form.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

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

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup of ground pork, 1 cup of finely chopped cabbage, 1 tbs of chopped green onions, 1 tsp of grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbs of soy sauce, 1 tsp of sesame oil, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 0.25 tsp of black pepper until well combined.

  2. 5

    Set Aside

    Let the filling sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Gyoza Assembly

  1. 6

    Roll Out Dough

    After the dough has rested, divide it into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Roll each ball out into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter).

  2. 7

    Fill Gyoza

    Place about 1 tsp of filling in the center of each dough circle. Wet the edges of the dough with a little water, fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Cooking Gyoza

  1. 8

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tbs of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 9

    Pan-Fry Gyoza

    Add the gyoza to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

  3. 10

    Steam Gyoza

    Carefully add 1 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately. Steam the gyoza for about 5-7 minutes until the water has evaporated.

  4. 11

    Serve

    Once cooked, serve the gyoza hot with soy sauce and chili oil for dipping.
