Dumpling Wrappers

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

Form the Dumplings
After resting, roll the dough into a long log and cut it into small pieces about the size of a walnut. Roll each piece into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges with water and fold the wrapper over to form a half-moon shape, pressing to seal.

Pan-fry the Gyoza
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the gyoza in the skillet, flat side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Carefully add 1 cup of water to the skillet and cover immediately. Allow the gyoza to steam for about 5-7 minutes until the water evaporates.

Serve
Once the water has evaporated, remove the lid and allow the gyoza to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms. Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
