Homemade Japanese-style Gyoza

Print Recipe

Delicious Japanese-style gyoza, perfect for a comforting meal or family gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/2 pound ground pork or chicken
  • 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Make the Gyoza Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and warm water. Stir until it begins to form a shaggy dough.
  2. Knead the Dough: Once it comes together, knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5–7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
  3. Rest the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine ground pork or chicken, chopped cabbage, green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Roll Out the Dough: After the dough has rested, divide it into two equal parts. Roll one part out into a thin sheet (approximately 1/8-inch).
  6. Fill the Gyoza: Place about a teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle.
  7. Fold and Crimp: Fold the dough over to make a half-moon shape. Press the edges together and crimp.
  8. Cook the Gyoza: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a couple of tablespoons of oil. Once hot, place the gyoza in a single layer and cook until the bottoms are golden brown.
  9. Steam the Gyoza: Carefully pour in about 1/4 cup of water and immediately cover the skillet with a lid. Let it steam for 5–7 minutes.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Uncover the skillet and let them crisp up for an additional minute.
