Ingredients

4 portion(s)

gyoza wrappers

300 g

minced pork (minimum 12% fat)

100 g

finely chopped white cabbage

finely sliced spring onions

finely chopped shiitake mushrooms

clove garlic, grated

2 tsp

grated ginger

1 tbsp

sake

1 tbsp

1 pinch

Freshly ground black pepper

Dipping sauce

4 tbsp

Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce

4 tbsp

rice vinegar

2 tbsp

sesame oil

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the minced pork with finely chopped cabbage, spring onions, mushrooms and grated garlic and ginger. Season with sake, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Fry a small bit of the mix and taste to check the seasoning.

Step 2

Place a heaped teaspoon of the mix in the centre of each gyoza wrapper, moisten the edges and fold each gyoza. Make the “pleats” on the edges when each gyoza is closed. Make sure to seal the gyozas properly.

Step 3

Fry the gyozas on a frying pan with a bit of oil at medium heat until they have some golden colour at the base – approx. 3 minutes. Add 100 ml water and put a lid on the pan and let the gyozas steam for 3 minutes. Remove the lid and let the water evaporate. Fry until the bases of the gyozas are crisp.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients for the dip and serve with the gyozas.
