Treat your ingredients with care...
- Ground beef — Choose lean ground beef for a healthier option.
- Cabbage — Ensure the cabbage is finely chopped to create a smooth filling texture.
- Gyoza wrappers — Keep the wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Tips & Tricks
- For a crispy texture, pan-fry the gyoza on one side before steaming.
- Experiment with different dipping sauces like spicy salsa or tangy barbecue sauce.
- Add a touch of fresh cilantro or parsley to the filling for an extra burst of flavor.
- Freeze any leftover gyoza for a quick and delicious snack or meal later on.
- Serve the gyoza as an appetizer or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
