Gyoza


Ingredients:
1/2 lb. ground pork
1/2 lb. ground beef
8 oz. tofu
1 egg
1/4 yellow onion, grated
1 medium zucchini, grated
1 c. cabbage, sliced very thin
1 c. bean sprouts, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 t. salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 T. fresh chives, diced
2 packages of gyoza wrappers
Canola oil

Dipping Sauce:
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. water
2 T. sugar
1/4 t. black pepper

Directions:
1. Combine onion, zucchini, cabbage, bean sprouts & salt in a bowl. Let sit for 30 minutes.
2. Put veggie mixture in a cheesecloth & squeeze out excess moisture. **This step is important, or you will have soggy gyoza!!!**
3. Combine veggies with pork, beef, tofu, garlic, chives & egg.
4. Separate a wrapper from the package, wet one half, spoon meat/veggies into wrapper & seal shut. **Make sure to seal the edges well**
5. Over medium heat, add 2 T. oil. Let it heat up until it sizzles when you put a gyoza in the pan. Brown on one side, pour 1 t. water into pan & cover immediately. Cook covered for a few minutes until the other side is browned.
