How to Make The Secret To Perfect Gyoza N Pot Stickers

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork (or pork and shrimp mix), soy sauce, mirin, sake, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and white pepper.
  2. Gently mix with your hands until just combined.
  3. Add the finely chopped Napa cabbage, carrot, and green onion.
  4. Thoroughly mix with your hands until the mixture becomes slightly sticky and no longer falls apart (this is crucial for juicy gyoza!).
  5. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each gyoza wrapper.
  6. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
  7. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, pressing firmly to seal the edges. Crimp the edges to create a decorative seal if desired.
  8. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  9. Arrange the gyoza in a single layer in the pan.
  10. Pour in enough boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the gyoza.
  11. Cover the pan and let the gyoza steam for 3 minutes.
  12. Remove the lid, and carefully drain any excess water.
  13. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the pan.
  14. Fry the gyoza uncovered for 1 1/2 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
  15. Remove from the pan and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil are classic choices).
