What is Gyoza?
Gyoza are Japanese dumplings typically filled with minced meat and finely chopped vegetables, wrapped in a thin dough and cooked until crisp on one side and soft on the other. Inspired by Chinese jiaozi, they’ve become a staple in Japanese cuisine and are often enjoyed as a starter, side dish, or even a main. Gyoza can be pan-fried, steamed, or boiled, and are usually served with a dipping sauce that enhances their rich flavour. They make a great addition to udon noodle recipes, adding texture and extra flavour, and are equally delicious in vegan and vegetarian meals when filled with plant-based ingredients.
