Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix the ground pork with the seasonings marked with a dot (•). Knead until the meat absorbs the seasonings and becomes sticky.

Wash the green onions and garlic chives, then chop them finely. Add them to the pork mixture and mix until well combined.
- 3
Thinly slice the napa cabbage lengthwise, then chop finely. Coat with potato starch to seal in moisture. Gently mix this into the pork mixture.
- 4
Wrap the pork mixture in the dumpling wrappers. Prepare a thin mixture of flour and water.

Add about 1 tablespoon of oil to a frying pan, arrange the dumplings, add about 2/3 cup (150 ml) of the flour-water mixture, cover, and steam-fry. Check for browning and remove to a plate.

For extra crispiness, drizzle a small amount of sesame oil while checking the browning. We love using Daisho's dumpling sauce!

Juicy Cabbage Gyoza Dumplings (Lightly Seasoned) Juicy Cabbage Gyoza Dumplings (Lightly Seasoned)
I've seen gyoza dumpling filling recipes with miso, green onion, ginger and so on, but I was never quite happy with the change in flavor and fragrance. I wanted to make simple, pure cabbage gyoza dumplings... Chinese cabbage is sweeter, but it doesn't suit me. It took me 4 years to get to this recipe. But... I'm still not totally satisfied. I'm really into searching for the perfect gyoza filling formula. We make about 100 large gyoza dumplings at a time in our family, but the 4 of us eat them all up.Attention: These dumplings are lightly flavored.1. Decide on the amount of sesame oil used depending on the color of the ground pork. If it's white, use less... adjust depending on if you want the flavor to be richer or lighter.2. Make sure to crush the garlic before adding it. The fragrance is totally different. If you keep the cooking liquid after making nibuta (simmered pork), you'll have lard. If you add this lard to your filling, it will be even richer. Adjust the amount of sesame oil if you add lard. For 125 dumplings (or 100 large size ones). Recipe by Nyanyadeko cookpad.japan -

Addictive Chicken Wing Gyoza Dumplings Addictive Chicken Wing Gyoza Dumplings
They used to sell frozen chicken wing dumplings, but they stopped stocking them in my neighborhood stores, so I took on the challenge!Only a little filling is needed, so you can make these when you have some filling left over from a previous gyoza dumpling batch.It's a bit of a bother if the bones break during cooking. When breaking the joints, hold the chicken in the middle and twist.You can eat them as-is, but the dumplings are also great dipped in a little ponzu sauce.You can do everything up to Step 6 the day before. For 10. Recipe by Musumedaburu cookpad.japan -
Juicy Pan-fried Gyoza Dumplings Juicy Pan-fried Gyoza Dumplings
I aimed for simple yet juicy gyoza dumplings. A Chinese friend of mine boils, chops and squeezes the Chinese cabbage, adds it to the filling, and then adds quite a lot of water too. So I wondered if you could just use the moisture in the vegetables and I started experimenting.The key is to cook (or quick-freeze) the dumplings as soon as they're filled. The filling is rather watery, so if they leak, the dumplings burn easily. Be sure to secure the dumplings securely! This is a little trick - the ground pork and egg are very cold right out of the refrigerator and it's painful, so take them out at the same time you take out the vegetables to warm up a bit. For 20 large gyoza dumplings. Recipe by Setsubunhijiki cookpad.japan
