Step 1

Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.

Step 2

Add the gyoza fried side down, ensuring that they do not touch.

Step 3

Pan fry for 1-2 minutes to crisp the bottom, checking them frequently.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low (so you don’t burn the bottom).

Step 5

Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of water into the pan.

Step 6

Put a lid on the pan and steam for 30-60 seconds.

Step 7

Use kitchen tongs to check if the bottoms are crispy. If not, fry for a further 30 seconds.
