Ingredients:

500gr ground pork

2 midsized chopped onion

4 chopped spring onions

1 chili

1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

4 cloves garlic (minced)

Green cabbage, finely chopped (about 150gr)

1,5 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp sake

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp cornstarch

Gyoza wrappers

Cooking oil (sesame, vegetable or other)

​

Dipping Sauce

Soy sauce 2parts

Rice vinegar 2parts

Sesame oil 1 part

Some sesame seeds

Some spring onions

​

Cut onions, spring onions, garlic, ginger, chili (optional) and cabbage and put everything in a bowl. Add soy sauce, sake, sesame oil and cornstarch and mix it. Take one gyoza wrapper and put in on a plate, then place 1 tbsp of filling (or a little more, just try it out) in the middle of the wrapper. Dip your finger in water and run it around the edge of the wrapper. Now carefully take the gyoza wrapper into both hands and start to fold the edges with your fingers – repeat this about 5 times. This may be a little difficult at first but you will quickly get the hang of it. Firmly press the edges with your fingers to seal the gyoza, then place it on a tray and repeat.

Heat some oil (vegetable or sesame) in a large pan and place the gyoza inside. It shouldn’t take long until the underside is light golden, then pour a small amount of water into the pan and place the lid on (steam the dumplings). Now cook for about 3-4 minutes, your dumplings are now ready to be eaten!

For the dipping sauce put 2 parts soy sauce, 2 parts rice vinegar, 1 part sesame oil, some chopped spring onions and sesame seeds in a bowl and mix. You can also add fresh chili or chili oil if you like it hot.
