Easy Pork Gyozas

Ingredients

• Gyoza wrappers (Buy ready-made from an Asian grocery store or supermarket; the visible packaging indicates 10 cm wrappers.)
• Pork sausage meat (The creator says that chicken or shrimp can also be used.)
• Spring onion (Thinly sliced or finely chopped.)
• Ginger (Finely chopped or grated.)
• Garlic (Finely chopped or minced.)
• Chili (Finely chopped; quantity to taste.)
• Salt (To taste.)
• Pepper (To taste.)
• Soy sauce (Add to taste.)
• Oyster sauce (Add to taste.)
• Fish sauce (The transcript pronounces it approximately; the description indicates nuoc mam sauce. Add to taste.)
• Sesame oil (For frying the gyozas. The transcript simply mentions using a little oil.)
• Water (To finish cooking the gyozas by steaming.)

Steps

1. 1

   Finely chop the spring onions, ginger, garlic, and chili.

2. 2

   Mix the chopped aromatics with the pork sausage meat, or with your choice of protein, such as chicken or shrimp.

3. 3

   Season the filling with salt, pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and fish sauce. Mix until evenly combined.

4. 4

   Place some filling on each ready-made gyoza wrapper.

5. 5

   Close each wrapper simply, like a small parcel. The creator explains that this folding method is less elaborate than the traditional method, but tastes the same.

6. 6

   Heat a little sesame oil in a frying pan, then add the gyozas.

7. 7

   Fry the bottoms of the gyozas until well browned.

8. 8

   Add a little water to the pan to finish cooking them by steaming.

9. 9

   Continue cooking until the dumplings are cooked through, then serve hot.

Notes

The exact quantities are not given in the description or transcript. The creator uses gyoza wrappers purchased from an Asian supermarket and estimates the total cost at just under €10. The precise cooking time and amount of water are not specified.
