Vegetarian Gyoza With Spicy Dipping Sauce

Vegetarian Gyoza With Spicy Dipping Sauce Recipe

The traditional filling is pork and cabbage, but they're often stuffed with chicken, seafood, or vegetables. I grew up eating gyoza this is just one of many variations. (serving size is 4 gyoza and 1 tablespoon of sauce if serving as an appy - I would suggest doubling sauce if you serve as a meal with hot rice)

  • Working with 1 wrapper at a time, spoon 2 teaspoons mushroom mixture into center of wrapper. Fold in half. Fold top edge of wrapper at 1/2-inch intervals to form pleats, pressing against bottom edge to seal. Place dumplings, pleated sides down, on a large baking sheet dusted with flour; cover loosely with towel to prevent drying.
