Ingredients

  • Edamame (shelled) - 150 grams
  • Carrot (finely grated) - 50 grams
  • Green onion (finely chopped) - 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
  • Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
  • Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
  • Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon (for sealing)
  • Water - for sealing
  • Vegetable oil - for frying

Steps

  1. In a bowl, combine the shelled edamame, grated carrot, chopped green onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form the filling.
  2. Take one gyoza wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center.
  3. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half, and pinch to seal tightly, making sure there are no air pockets.
  4. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  6. Once the oil is hot, arrange the gyoza in the skillet, making sure they are not touching each other.
  7. Fry the gyoza for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
  8. Add about 50 ml of water to the skillet and cover immediately to steam the gyoza for 5-7 minutes.
  9. Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow any remaining water to evaporate.
  10. Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
