Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups green cabbage, very finely chopped
  • 1 tsp salt, separated
  • 1 lb ground pork (mince) 500g
  • 1 cup garlic chives, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch / corn flour
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp cornflour (cornstarch) ? for tray
  • 40 ? 45 pieces round wonton (gyoza) wrappers
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil (or other cooking oil)
  • Soy sauce, for dipping
  • Rice wine vinegar, for dipping
  • Chili oil (Rayu) for dipping

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • skillet
  • baking tray
  • Egg flip

Method
 

  1. Combine cabbage and 1/2 tsp salt in a small bowl, then set aside for 20 minutes to allow the cabbage to wilt slightly.
  2. Place remaining filling ingredients (including remaining 1/2 tsp salt) in a large bowl. Squeeze out any excess water from the cabbage and add to the bowl.
  3. Use your hands to mix the filling.
  4. Sprinkle a baking tray with 1 tsp of cornstarch / cornflour.
  5. Place 1 gyoza wrapper on your palm. Dip your finger in water and run it around the edge of half the gyoza wrapper to seal.
  6. Place 1 slightly heaped tbsp of filling on the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over and use your right hand assisted by your left hand thumb to create 4 pleats. Press to seal and place on the tray. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
  7. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  8. Place about 12 gyoza in rows, slightly overlapping each other. Cook until the underside is light golden, then pour 1/3 cup of water around the gyoza and place the lid on.
  9. Cook until the water has completely evaporated and the wrapper is slightly translucent on top ? about 3 to 4 minutes.
  10. Use an egg flip to transfer onto a plate upside down i.e. golden side up.
  11. Serve with dipping sauce.
