Ingredients

• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• ¼ cup hot water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup chopped cabbage
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• ¼ teaspoon soy sauce
• 3 spring onions, chopped
• ½ pound pork belly slices
• 1 (16 ounce) package gyoza wrappers

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook pork until until slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Chop into small chunks.

Step 2

Combine cabbage, spring onions, garlic, and ginger in a food processor. Blend until finely minced; transfer to a bowl.

Step 3

Place cooked pork in the food processor; blend until finely minced. Add pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the cabbage mixture. Combine filling well.

Step 4

Separate and place gyoza wrappers onto your work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the center of each wrapper. Use your finger or a pastry brush to lightly moisten edges of wrappers with water. Fold one side of the wrapper over the filling onto the opposite corner to form a crescent shape. Press edges together to seal.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry gyoza until bottoms are golden, about 3 minutes. Add enough hot water to cover gyoza halfway. Cook until water is evaporated and gyoza are translucent, 2 to 4 minutes.
