Pork Gyoza
For filling:
1 pkg. won-ton or gyoza wrappers
½ cup finely chipped bok choy leaves
½ cup finely chopped Napa cabbage
½ cup finely chopped green onion
¼ cup finely chopped water chestnuts
1 tsp ground ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. ground pork
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
Salt & pepper
For cooking:
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp + 1/3 cup water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
•Combine all filling ingredients in a bowl and combine well with your hands
​
•In a separate small bowl, combine cornstarch and 2 tbsp water
​
•Place a won-ton wrapper on your prep surface. Cover the remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel to avoid them drying out while filling dumplings. Add a tsp of filling into the center of the wrapper, taking care not to over fill or spread the filling out too close to the edges
​
•To fold the dumpling, moisten the edges of the wrapper with the cornstarch water mixture. Gently lift the edges of the wrapper over the filling and pinch while folding to seal
​
•Heat a non stick skillet with vegetable oil and cook for 2-3 min. until browned. Add 1/3 water, cover and steam dumplings until the liquid is absorbed ~ 5 min. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce
