Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken
  • 1 stalk celery (minced)
  • 5 leaves cabbage (minced)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger (minced)
  • 2/3 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 100 gyoza wraps
  • 1/2 cup (120 cc) soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp vinegar
  • 2/3 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger (finely grated)
  • 6 green onions (thinly sliced)

Method

  • Wash cabbage and celery, dry and mince.
  • Dry them well or it will make gyozas stick together and soggy.
  • Scrape ginger skin, and mince.
  • In a medium bowl, mix meat, cabbage, celery, ginger, worcestershire sauce and salt.
  • Mix well until sticky.
  • Put the mix (about 1/2 tbsp) on a wrap then smear some water around the wrap with your finger.
  • Fold the wrap in half and pinch the edges.
  • If you make 4~5 tucks, it seems more pro made.
  • I used these small round wraps but you can also use square wonton wraps.
  • Heat oil and put your gyozas in a frying pan on medium low heat.
  • When one side becomes lightly brown, add 1/4 cup (60cc) hot water and steam fry with lid on.
  • While your gyozas are cooking, mix all the ingredients together for your dipping sauce.
  • While mixing together your ingredients for the sauce, listen carefully to the frying pan.
  • When it starts to make a popping sound, open the lid and add a little bit of sesame oil or the oil of your choice (I like to use coconut oil).
  • Cook until the bottoms are crispy.
  • When all the water is gone and they are crispy on the bottom, serve on a plate with a small bowl of your dipping sauce.
  • You can freeze before frying, and start from step 5 with frozen gyozas later.
  • (You dont need to thaw!)
