Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the water, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Filling

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

Gyoza Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Gyoza

    After the dough has rested, divide it into small portions (about 1-inch balls). Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter). Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly, creating pleats if desired.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Pan-Fry the Gyoza

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange the gyoza in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Add the water to the skillet, cover immediately, and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the gyoza are cooked through.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Remove the gyoza from the skillet and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
