Ingredients
- 1 lb Napa cabbage (about ½ a medium head), finely minced
- 2½ tsp kosher salt, divided
- 1 lb ground pork shoulder
- 3 tbsp chives, minced **or 3 green scallions, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp white pepper
- Gyoza wrappers **Sometimes called potsticker wrappers
Instructions
- Make the dipping sauce and set it aside to allow flavors time to mingle. Click here for the recipe.
- Make the gyoza by combining the finely chopped cabbage and 2 teaspoons of salt in a mesh strainer and toss well to combine.
- Set the strainer over a bowl and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Transfer cabbage to the center of a clean dish towel and gather up the edges. Twist the towel to squeeze the cabbage, wringing out as much excess moisture as possible. Discard the liquid.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, drained cabbage, chives, garlic, sugar, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, remaining 1/2 tsp of salt, and white pepper.
- Using clean hands, knead the mixture vigorously until it is homogenous and starting to feel tacky and sticky. Side Note: If you aren't serving the gyoza with a dipping sauce, I recommend transferring a teaspoon of the mixture to a small dish and microwave for 10-seconds. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Set up a workstation with a small bowl of water, a clean dish towel for wiping fingers, a parchment-lined baking sheet, a stack of gyoza wrappers, and the dumpling mixture.
- To form dumplings, place 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of the wrapper. Use the tip of the finger on your other hand to very gently moisten the edge of the wrapper with water--do not use too much water. Wipe fingertip dry on the towel.
- Working from one side, carefully seal the filling inside the wrapper by folding it into a crescent shape, pleating in edges as it meets the other. Make sure each dumpling is completely sealed. Place finished dumplings on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- To cook the gyoza, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add as many dumplings as will fit in a single layer and cook, swirling pan, until evenly golden brown on the bottom surface, about 1 ½ - 2 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium-high, add ½ cup of water and cover tightly with a lid. Let the dumplings steam for 3 minutes, then remove the lid.
- Continue cooking, swirling pan frequently and using a thin spatula to gently dislodge the dumplings if they are stuck to the bottom of the pan, until the water has fully evaporated and the dumplings have crisped again, about 2 minutes longer.
- Slide dumplings onto a plate, crisp-side-up, and serve immediately. Enjoy.
