Vegetable Gyoza are delicious Japanese dumplings filled with a vibrant mix of fresh vegetables and seasonings, offering a delightful crunch and savory flavor. Perfect for a light lunch or snack, these gyoza are both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Gyoza wrappers - 20 pieces
• Cabbage - 100 grams, finely chopped
• Carrot - 50 grams, grated
• Mushrooms - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Spring onions - 2, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons for frying
• Water - 100 ml for steaming

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped cabbage, grated carrot, chopped mushrooms, chopped spring onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Take a gyoza wrapper and place a teaspoon of the vegetable filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it in half, and pinch the edges to seal. You can create pleats along the edges for decoration if desired. Repeat until all filling is used.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the gyoza in the pan, making sure they are not crowded. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
4. Add 100 ml of water to the pan and cover immediately to steam the gyoza. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the gyoza are cooked through.
5. Remove the lid and let them cook for another minute to crisp up the bottoms. Serve hot with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a dash of chili oil if desired.
