1 1/2 cups green cabbage, very finely chopped
1 tsp salt, separated
1 lb / 500g ground pork (mince) (fattier the better)
1 cup garlic chives, finely chopped (Note 1)
1 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp ginger, grated
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp cornstarch / corn flour
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp cornflour (cornstarch) - for tray

Steps:

  • Combine cabbage and 1/2 tsp salt in a small bowl, then set aside for 20 minutes to allow the cabbage to wilt slightly.
  • Place remaining Filling ingredients (including remaining 1/2 tsp salt) in a large bowl. Squeeze out any excess water from the cabbage and add to the bowl.
  • Use your hands to mix the Filling.
  • Sprinkle a baking tray with 1 tsp of cornstarch / cornflour.
  • Place 1 gyoza wrapper on your palm (left hand for right-handed people). Dip your finger in water and run it around the edge of half the gyoza wrapper (to seal).

Yield 50 dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 packet 50 gyoza wrappers
Filling:
1/8 cabbage
1 teaspoon salt
400 g lean pork or chicken
1/2 bunch garlic chives, finely chopped
4 dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked in hot water and finely chopped
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil, plus 2 teaspoons extra, for cooking
Pinch of salt
Dipping sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
La-yu (Japanese chilli oil), optional

Steps:

  • Dice cabbage finely and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Give it a bit of a massage. Leave for 10-15 minutes and then squeeze with your hands to remove any moisture.
  • With your hands thoroughly mix together cabbage, ground meat, chives, mushrooms, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and pinch of salt.
  • Dry your hands completely (or wrappers will stick). Place a gyoza wrapper on one hand and put 1 teaspoon filling in centre of wrapper.
  • Brush edge of half the wrapper with cold water. Make a semi-circle by folding the wrapper in half. Pinch open sides of wrapper together with your fingers and seal the top.
  • Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add 2 teaspoons sesame oil and arrange 20-25 gyoza in pan. Add 200ml water to cover bottom of pan, cover with lid and cook on medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes or until translucent, cooked and no liquid is left in pan. Take off lid and cook for another 30-60 seconds for the bottoms to go crunchy. Cook remaining gyoza or freeze them.
  • Mix together soy sauce, vinegar and chilli oil, if using. Serve gyoza hot with dipping sauce.
