Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium carrot finely grated
- 1/4 yellow onion finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 package wonton wrappers
For the Dipping Sauce
- 2 tbsp canola oil OR vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, carrot, onion, garlic, black pepper, cornstarch, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix everything together thoroughly.
- Place a scant tablespoon of filling into the center of a wrapper. Dab your finger in warm water and drag it across two edges of the wrapper. Fold over and press to seal. Using a fork, crimp the edge for a secure seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. SEE NOTES if you're using a smaller pan. When the oil is hot, add the prepared gyoza and fry both sides until golden brown. Once cooked, add the water, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the pan. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Steam for about 5 minutes. Serve with rice and vegetables, garnishing with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
Notes
-I use lean ground beef (83%) and cornstarch for extra tender dumplings.
-I use low-sodium soy sauce.
-FOR A SMALLER PAN: If you can't fit all of the gyoza into your pan at the same time, divide the gyoza evenly and add an additional tablespoon of water and soy sauce to each batch.
STORE leftover Beef Gyoza in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, FREEZE uncooked pot stickers in a single layer before transferring to a bag—freeze for up to 3 months.
REHEAT cooked pot stickers in a skillet over medium heat or steam frozen pot stickers for about 8–10 minutes.
