Instructions
Prepare the Cabbage
Start by cooking the napa cabbage in boiling water or steaming it for 5 minutes.
Transfer the cabbage to a colander, rinse with cold water, and let cool.
Using your hands, squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Make the Filling
Add the blanched cabbage, ground pork, garlic, ginger, scallions, vegetable oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and white pepper to the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and well combined.
Assemble the Gyoza
Prepare sheet pans or cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
Place about 1 Tablespoon of filling in the center of each gyoza wrapper. Dip your finger in a small bowl of water and moisten the edges of the wrapper.
Fold the wrapper in half or pleat as desired, making sure the dumplings are well sealed.
Place the gyoza on a parchment-lined, perforated Convection Steam Oven pan.
Steam the Gyoza
Program the Wolf Convection Steam Oven to cook on steam mode for 12 minutes.
Preheat the Wolf Griddle to 400°F.
Remove the gyoza from the oven and place them on the griddle drizzled with a few teaspoons of oil.
Cook until the bottoms are crispy and golden, about 3–4 minutes. Cook to your preferred level of crispness.
Make the Dipping Sauce & Serve
Combine all dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
Serve the crispy gyoza hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
Freezing Instructions
Uncooked gyoza can be frozen on a parchment-lined tray until solid, then transferred to a freezer bag for a future meal.
