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 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 package wonton wrappers

For the 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 bow, combine the ground beef, carrot, onion, garlic, black pepper, cornstarch, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix everything together.
  • Place a scant tablespoon of filling into the center the wrapper. Dab your finger in warm water and drag it across two edges of the wrapper. fold over and press to seal. Then, using a fork, crimp the edge so that the wrapper really sticks together (this eliminates the need to pleat the edges). Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and or vegetable oil. SEE NOTES if your using a smaller pan. When the oil is hot add the prepared gyoza and fry both sides until brown. Once they're cooked on both sides, 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, garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.

Notes

-I use a 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.
