Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 cups finely shredded napa cabbage (squeeze out excess moisture)
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped (white and green parts)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon sake or dry sherry
  • 40 gyoza wrappers (round, about 3.5 inches diameter)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  • For the Spicy Chili Soy Dip:
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped scallions (optional garnish)
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling (10 minutes): In a large bowl, combine ground pork, shredded napa cabbage (well-drained), green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, sugar, white pepper, and sake if using. Mix gently but thoroughly until evenly distributed.
  2. Assemble the Gyoza (15 minutes): Place a gyoza wrapper on your palm. Spoon about one tablespoon (15 g) of filling into the center. Moisten the edge of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and press edges to seal, pleating if desired.
  3. Heat the Pan (2 minutes): Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to a large non-stick skillet and heat over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Cook the Gyoza (10 minutes): Arrange potstickers flat side down without overcrowding. Cook 2-3 minutes until bottoms are golden brown. Pour in 1/2 cup water and cover immediately to steam for 5-6 minutes until water evaporates and filling is cooked.
  5. Finish Crisping (2 minutes): Remove lid, increase heat to medium-high, and cook 1-2 minutes to crisp bottoms again.
  6. Prepare the Spicy Chili Soy Dip (5 minutes): Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and honey in a small bowl. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds if desired.
  7. Serve Immediately: Plate potstickers with the spicy chili soy dip on the side and enjoy warm.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Drain cabbage well to avoid soggy filling. Use medium-high heat and seal potstickers tightly. Pour water gently when steaming and cover immediately. Test one potsticker first to adjust seasoning. For gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free wrappers. Baking is a lighter alternative but less crispy.
