Gyoza [0001001]

Ingredients:

1 package (about 20) gluten-free gyoza wrappers
1/2 pound ground pork or ground chicken
2 cups finely chopped Napa cabbage
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Water, for sealing gyoza wrappers

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork or chicken, finely chopped Napa cabbage, green onions, minced fresh ginger, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Lay a gluten-free gyoza wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the gyoza wrapper.

Fold the wrapper in half, creating a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal. You can make pleats along the edge for a decorative touch if desired.

Place the formed gyoza on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they don't touch each other to prevent sticking.

Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil.

Carefully place the gyoza in the skillet, flat side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

Pour about 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to steam the gyoza for another 4-5 minutes or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is cooked through.

Remove the lid and let the gyoza cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they become crispy and golden on the bottom.
