👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Finely chop green cabbage, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, green onions, fresh ginger, and garlic for the filling.
2. In a large bowl, combine all chopped vegetables with soy sauce and sesame oil; mix well and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
3. Assemble the gyoza: Place a wrapper in your palm, add a spoonful of filling to the center, moisten the edges with water, then fold into a half-moon and pleat one side to seal.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place gyoza in a single layer, flat-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
5. Add about 1/4 cup of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the wrappers are translucent and tender.
6. Remove the lid and continue to cook for another minute to re-crisp the bottoms if needed. Serve hot with dipping sauce (soy sauce, rice vinegar, a dash of sesame oil, optional chili oil).
