Japanese Gyoza

*I use my hands to mix this*

Place chopped cabbage in a large and add all ingredients minus the vegetable oil and the wrappers.

Mix well until combined.

Holding a wrapper in one hand, place 1 tsp. of the mixture into the center of the wrapper.

Using your finger, dip into water and wet down one side of the wrapper (this acts as a “glue).

Bring one side of the wrapper to meet the other side. Then make 4-5 pleats to enclose filling into a neat bundle.

*Freeze unwanted dumplings in freezer bags*

In a nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tbs. of oil.

Place dumplings close together and cook for 1 minute.

Add water to the pans until it comes halfway up the side of the dumplings. Cover and cook on medium heat until all water has evaporated.

Remove lid and add 2 tbs. oil to pan and cook until bottoms are brown.

Can be dipped in soy sauce and are best served over rice.
Enjoy!
