Japanese Gyoza Recipe | Crispy Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings

Japanese Gyoza are delicious pan-fried dumplings filled with seasoned ground pork, cabbage, garlic, ginger, and green onions. Their signature texture comes from a crispy golden base paired with a tender, juicy filling and soft dumpling wrapper. These popular Japanese dumplings are commonly served as an appetizer, snack, or side dish with a savory soy-vinegar dipping sauce. Easy to prepare at home, Gyoza are perfect for family meals, gatherings, and Japanese-inspired dinners.

Cooking Method

Place the chopped cabbage in a bowl, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess moisture.
Combine the ground pork, cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper.
Place one gyoza wrapper on a clean surface and add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center.
Moisten the wrapper edge with water, fold it over the filling, and pleat the edges to seal.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Arrange the gyoza flat-side down in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add the water and immediately cover the skillet.
Steam for 5–7 minutes, until the filling is fully cooked and the wrappers are tender.
Remove the lid and cook for another 1–2 minutes to crisp the bottoms again.
Mix the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
Serve the Gyoza hot with the soy-vinegar dipping sauce.
