Combine ground pork, minced garlic, chopped onion, chopped cabbage, chopped garlic chives, chopped green onions, grated ginger, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
Place a gyoza wrapper in your palm. Scoop a small amount of filling into the center of the wrapper.
Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold it in half over the filling, pressing the edges together gently.
Pleat the edges on both sides towards the center to create a curved, decorative shape.
Arrange the wrapped gyoza in a frying pan, ensuring they do not overlap.
Add a small amount of vegetable oil to the pan and heat it over medium heat.
Pour water into the pan, enough to cover about half the height of the gyoza. Cover the pan with a lid and increase the heat to high.
Cook until all the water has evaporated and the bottoms of the gyoza are golden and crispy.
If you don't have garlic chives, you can substitute with regular chives or green onions.
Make sure not to overfill the gyoza wrappers to avoid tearing during folding.
For extra crispy bottoms, let the gyoza cook for an additional minute after the water has evaporated.
Can I use a different type of meat?
Yes, you can substitute ground pork with ground chicken, turkey, or even beef.
How do I prevent the gyoza wrappers from drying out?
Keep the wrappers covered with a damp cloth while assembling to prevent them from drying out.
Can I freeze the gyoza?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked gyoza on a tray and then transfer them to a freezer bag. Cook them directly from frozen when ready to eat.
What can I serve with gyoza?
Gyoza pairs well with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a touch of chili oil.
Can I make the filling ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
