Japanese Gyoza Recipe

I'm rarely into Japanese cuisine yet there are some dishes that I like like the Teryaki dishes and this one which is the Japananese Pork Gyoza. For those of you who are into Japanese foods, you might wanna try to make this one in your own kitchen.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup chopped cabbage (boiled)
• 2 Tbsp chopped green onion
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 tsps soy-sauce
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 20 gyoza wrappers
• 1 Tbsp vegetable oil

For dipping sauce

• soy sauce
• rice vinegar
• hot pepper oil

Preparation:

1. Combine all ingredients other than oil in a bowl and mix well using your hands. 
2. Put in a teaspoonful of filling in a gyoza wrapper and put water along the edge of the wrapper by fingers. 
3. Make a semicircle, gathering the front side of the wrapper and sealing the top. 
4. Heat oil in a frying pan. 
5. Put gyoza in the pan and fry on high heat until the bottoms become brown. 
6. Turn down the heat to low. 
7. Add 1/4 cup water in the pan. 
8. Cover the pan and steam the gyoza on low heat until the water is gone. 

Serve gyoza with dipping sauce on the side. 

For the dipping sauce: 

Mix a 1:2 ratio of soy sauce to rice vinegar and add some hot pepper oil if you would like.
