Directions

  2. Place a small amount of pork filling in the center of a gyoza wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold in half, and pinch pleats along the edge to seal.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add gyoza in a single layer and cook until the bottoms are golden brown.
  4. Carefully add water to the pan and cover immediately to steam the gyoza until the water evaporates.
  5. Remove the lid and let the gyoza fry until the bottoms are crispy again. Transfer to a plate.
  6. Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, and sesame seeds to make a dipping sauce.
  7. Serve the fried pork gyoza hot with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
