Awesome! Made this for my French family and they love, love, loved it. I substituted chicken for pork, and added ginger and garlic as others suggested. Will be making again, thank you!

This was a great base recipe. I adapted it to be vegetarian, and it pleased both myself and my meat eater boyfriend.

I loved these and will make them again. I had never made them before and found that folding the wonton wrappers to be a little tricky. In the end, just know that they do not necessarily have to look perfect, they just have to be sealed really well. A lot of work but definitely worth it. (I added about 2 T. of finely chopped ginger).

The smell of those vegetables cooking in that sesame oil filled the house and was so good!! After reading some of the other reviews, I added some grated ginger which was a good addition. I also added some chopped up mushrooms. Delicious with the dipping sauce, and a tasty way to eat lots of vegetables!

I have my own recipe for the dipping sauce, but the gyoza themselves were fantastic! A new thanksgiving tradition! Next time I'll have to make fewer so people are still hungry for turkey.

I thought that with so few ingredients there was no way these could be good. I was surprised. The addition of the sesame oil makes all the difference. I froze a whole bunch of of them so I can have them whenever. I found that cooking them in peanut oil was a good idea after I set off the fire alarm. Also be sure and have the cover to the ready to immediately put it on top.

I took advise from other reviewers. I grated the carrot and cabbage. For ground pork, I cook pork chops in the oven for 2 hours at 300 degrees with some water and sesame oil. It was very tender and easy to puree in the blender. The filling was a bit bland, so I added a bit of soy sauce and sesame oil. I did not cook the filling before constructing the dumplings. They turned out perfectly! A lot of work, but worth it!

These make a great meal or snack! I make my own wrappers with flour, water, and a bit of salt. Last time, I chose to fill mine with what I had on hand at the time: ground turkey, fresh chopped onion and spinach, frozen peas, and seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic, etc). They were delicious and hard to put down! Even my dad wanted more. Great portable food. I just wish they could be a little less greasy!

excellent receipe, thank you. I am middle-eastern, but my son has many asian friends. When he got his college acceptance letter, I asked him what you want for dinner, he said home made Gyoza. this was the first time I made them, he loved it. I found your receipe with a couple of reviews you had very helpful & straight forward. The whole family enjoyed it.

These were just okay. Pre cooking the filling made them finicky to fold properly so I did a couple this way and the rest I just put the raw filling in, which is traditional. I found the filling bland so with my second batch I added a splash of soy sauce, splash of oyster sauce, splash of sesame oil, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1/4 tsp of pepper, 1/4 tsp of ground ginger. Adding these ingredients and not pre cooking the filling made these a definite 5 star dish.
