Gyoza

These high-protein gyoza are a delightful twist on the traditional recipe, featuring lean ground chicken and a medley of vegetables. Perfectly pan-fried for a crispy texture, they make an excellent appetizer that is both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Ground chicken - 200 grams
• Cabbage, finely chopped - 100 grams
• Green onions, finely chopped - 2 stalks
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Ginger, minced - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Gyoza wrappers - 20 pieces
• Water - 50 ml
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped cabbage, green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
2. Take a gyoza wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half, and pinch to seal, creating pleats if desired. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the gyoza in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
4. Carefully add 50 ml of water to the skillet and cover immediately with a lid. Steam the gyoza for about 6-8 minutes until the water has evaporated and the gyoza are cooked through.
5. Remove the lid and allow any remaining water to evaporate, ensuring the gyoza bottoms are crispy. Serve hot with soy sauce or dipping sauce of choice.
