Pork Gyoza
For filling:
1 pkg. won-ton or gyoza wrappers
½ cup finely chipped bok choy leaves
½ cup finely chopped Napa cabbage
½ cup finely chopped green onion
¼ cup finely chopped water chestnuts
1 tsp ground ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. ground pork
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
Salt & pepper
For cooking:
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp + 1/3 cup water
1 tbsp vegetable oil
•Combine all filling ingredients in a bowl and combine well with your hands
•In a separate small bowl, combine cornstarch and 2 tbsp water
•Place a won-ton wrapper on your prep surface. Cover the remaining wrappers with a damp paper towel to avoid them drying out while filling dumplings. Add a tsp of filling into the center of the wrapper, taking care not to over fill or spread the filling out too close to the edges
•To fold the dumpling, moisten the edges of the wrapper with the cornstarch water mixture. Gently lift the edges of the wrapper over the filling and pinch while folding to seal
•Heat a non stick skillet with vegetable oil and cook for 2-3 min. until browned. Add 1/3 water, cover and steam dumplings until the liquid is absorbed ~ 5 min. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce
