Instructions
1
Mix Ingredients in Processor
Start by combining the water chestnuts, green onions, egg, pineapple, gochujang, parsley, hoisin sauce, Sriracha, sesame oil, black pepper, ginger, and fish sauce in a food processor. Pulse everything until it’s finely chopped and well mixed. Then add the sausage and pulse just a few more times until everything is combined but still has some texture.
2
Fold and Pleat Gyoza
Lay out about four gyoza wrappers on a clean surface. Fill a small bowl with water and use your finger to moisten half the edge of each wrapper. Spoon about half a tablespoon of filling into the center, fold the wrapper in half, and pinch it closed by making 5 or 6 little pleats along the edge. Place the finished gyoza on a plate and cover them with a damp paper towel so they don’t dry out. Keep going until you’ve used up all the wrappers and filling.
3
Prepare Dipping Sauce
For the dipping sauce, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, green onions, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, and fresh ginger in a bowl. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
4
Fry Gyoza Until Golden
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to about 375°F (190°C). Fry the gyoza in small batches — about 3 or 4 at a time — until they turn a nice golden brown, which should take around 3 minutes per batch. Serve them right away with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
These dumplings have a perfect balance of crispy bottoms and tender, juicy fillings. The combination of savory pork and fragrant seasonings makes each bite satisfying. Plus, the dipping sauce adds a tangy kick that complements the flavors beautifully.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a fresh side of steamed rice or a simple cucumber salad to add crunch and freshness. A cup of green tea or light beer pairs wonderfully with the savory flavors.
Storage Tips
Store leftover gyoza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, pan-fry them again to restore crispiness or microwave briefly if in a hurry. For longer storage, freeze uncooked gyoza and cook directly from frozen when ready.
