Delicious Japanese prawn gyoza filled with shrimp, chives, and cabbage, paired with a flavorful dipping sauce. Perfect as an appetizer or snack.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 30-35 gyoza

Ingredients

  • 30–35 sheets gyoza wrappers (or dumpling wrappers)
  • 300 grams prawns/shrimp
  • 100 grams chives
  • 150 grams cabbage
  • 2 tsp grated garlic
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1–2 tbsp oil (for frying)
  • 6–8 tbsp water (add each batch of frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Pat dry the prawns with a paper towel, then finely chop them with a knife or use a food processor. Finely chop the chives and add them to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Finely chop the cabbage, sprinkle some salt over it, and mix well. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then squeeze out any excess water.
  3. Add the cabbage to the prawn and chive mixture. Season with salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and corn starch. Mix everything thoroughly until it forms a sticky paste.
  4. Assemble the gyoza: Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each gyoza wrapper. Moisten the edges with a little water, fold, and press to seal the dumpling into a crescent shape.
  5. Cook the gyoza: Heat a non-stick pan with a bit of oil over medium heat. Place the gyoza in the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
  6. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the pan and cover with a lid. Let it steam for about 5-7 minutes until the water has evaporated and the gyoza are fully cooked.
  7. Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and chili oil.
  8. Serve the gyoza hot with the dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Ensure the gyoza are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during frying.
  • If you prefer a spicier dipping sauce, adjust the amount of chili oil to your taste.
  • Gyoza wrappers can be found at most Asian grocery stores, or you can substitute with dumpling wrappers.
