Smash Gyoza

To make smash gyoza, start by mixing ground pork with chopped chives, minced garlic, grated ginger, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and white pepper in a bowl. Place a spoonful of this filling in the center of a gyoza wrapper, fold it in half, and pinch the edges to seal. Cook the gyoza in a non-stick pan until golden brown, then add water and cover to steam until fully cooked.

Yes, you can easily substitute ground pork with ground chicken, turkey, or even a plant-based meat alternative for a vegetarian version. Just ensure that any substitutions are seasoned well to maintain the flavor profile of the dish.

To store leftover smash gyoza, allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, reheat them in a pan or steam them until heated through.

Smash gyoza pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or a bowl of miso soup. You can also serve them with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce and chili oil for added flavor.

To prevent gyoza wrappers from sticking together, make sure to dust them lightly with flour before stacking. Additionally, avoid overcrowding the pan while cooking, and ensure they are well-sealed to keep moisture in during the steaming process.
