fried gyoza

Dumplings are intimidating (well, they can be). But they also are, in fact, delicious. No matter what you stuff them with, the concept of pillowy, soft dough encasing a luscious, super flavorful filling is enough to warm you up from inside to out. Well, with our homemade dumpling recipe, we’re bringing that warm, fuzzy feeling right to your very own kitchen table.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the warm water and mix until well-combined.

Roll out dough on a floured surface and knead until smooth.

Roll out 1 piece of dough into a thin log and divide into 6 or 8 pieces, depending on the size of dumplings you want. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.

Lightly flour the dough pieces and roll out 1 piece into a thin circle roughly 4-inches (10 cm) in diameter.

Keep the dumpling wrappers separated with a small piece of parchment paper and repeat with the remaining dough.

Combine the cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a medium bowl and mix until well-incorporated.

For the pork filling, combine the ground pork with the remaining teaspoon of salt, the pepper and 1 cup (125g) of the cabbage mixture and stir until well-incorporated.

For the veggie filling, combine the mushrooms and carrot and microwave for 3 minutes, until soft. Add 1 cup (125g) of the cabbage mixture and stir until well-incorporated.

For the shrimp filling, combine the shrimp with 1 cup (125g) of the cabbage mixture and stir until well-incorporated.

To assemble the dumplings, add roughly 1 heaping tablespoon of filling to the center of a dumpling wrapper. With your finger, lightly coat half of the outside of the wrapper with water. Fold the moistened half of the wrapper over the filling and, using your fingers, pleat the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining fillings and wrappers.

Heat the oil over medium high in a large skillet and add a few dumplings, cooking them in batches. Once the bottoms of the dumplings start to brown, add a splash of water and cover with a lid. Steam for about 5 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked and the water has evaporated. Transfer the cooked dumplings to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess moisture or grease.

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and pepper flakes and stir to combine. Serve the dumplings immediately with the dipping sauce.

This Gyoza Recipe is cabbage and ground pork stuffed dumplings pan-fried and steamed to perfection, served with a sweet and salty three-ingredient sauce. 

Gyoza (Japanese Dumplings)

cabbage

salt

garlic

green onions

grated ginger or ginger paste

40-50 potsticker wrappers or gyoza wrappers (see notes)

vegetable oil

water per batch

Sauce

mirin

Add the chopped cabbage to a colander and sprinkle with salt. Stir to combine and let the colander sit in the sink for about 15 minutes. Squeeze out any excess moisture. 

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, ground pork, garlic, green onions, and grated ginger. Gently combine with your hand.

Holding a pot sticker wrapper in the palm of your hand. Dip your index finger from your other hand in cold water and moisten the whole outer edge of the wrapper. Place 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture in the center of the wrapper. 

Using your right hand (reverse if you are left-handed), start to fold the pot sticker in half, making pleats about every 1/2 inch as you seal the dumpling. Place them on parchment-covered baking sheets as you make them. 

Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add some of the dumplings to the hot oil flat side down in a single layer, leaving space between them. Pan fry until they are golden brown on the flat side, then add a 1/4 cup of water and cover with a lid.  Steam for 3 minutes or until the water evaporates. 

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil. Serve the sauce with the warm dumplings.  

I can't believe I made homemade dumplings. These little things are so tasty!

I would like to have a huge bowl of these dumplings! They look irresistible!

These look so delicious. I am going to use tofu in place of pork and make these. Absolutely cracker of a recipe.

It was my first time trying dumplings and this recipe worked perfectly! Thanks for the tip about finely chopping the cabbage and onions. They were super delish!

One of my most favorite foods when we go out to eat Japanese is Gyoza! They are so flavorful and perfect for dipping. Glad to have found an easy way to make at home. Thank you!

This was such a fun recipe! Tasty, too! :)

I always have to order these when eating out and am so excited to enjoy these at home from now on! Turned out perfectly easy and delicious; way better than take out!

I really enjoyed making and eating this!! SO delicious!
