Delight in our Pork & Kimchee Gyoza, where tender, savory pork meets the zesty kick of fermented kimchee, all encased in a perfectly pan-fried dumpling. Each bite bursts with flavor, enhanced by a drizzle of refreshing yuzu that adds a citrusy brightness. A must-try for those seeking a unique and satisfying taste experience!

In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to incorporate the seasoning.

Combine Pork and Seasonings

Finely chop the kimchee and add it to the pork mixture. Stir thoroughly to distribute the kimchee evenly throughout the filling.

Add Kimchee

If desired, add minced garlic, ginger, or finely chopped scallions to boost flavor. Mix until well combined.

Optional Ingredients

Lay gyoza wrappers on a clean, dry surface and prepare a small bowl of water for sealing the dumplings.

Prepare Gyoza Wrappers

Place about one teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Dip a finger in water and moisten the edge of the wrapper.

Fill the Wrappers

Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges together, pleating as desired to create a crescent shape. Ensure all edges are tightly sealed to prevent leaking during cooking.

Fold and Seal

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil. Place gyoza flat side down in the pan and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2–3 minutes.

Pan-Fry the Gyoza

Carefully add a few tablespoons of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 4–5 minutes or until the water evaporates and the wrappers are tender and cooked through.

Steam the Gyoza

Uncover and let the gyoza cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the bottoms are crisp again.

Finish Cooking

Transfer the cooked gyoza to a serving dish. Arrange them in a circular pattern or line them up neatly for presentation.

Plate the Gyoza

Lightly drizzle yuzu juice over the gyoza just before serving to add a citrusy brightness that enhances the savory and spicy flavors.

Drizzle with Yuzu

Sprinkle with chopped scallions, toasted sesame seeds, or serve with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and a splash of yuzu.
