Steps:
- Combine water chestnuts, green onions, egg, pineapple, gochujang, parsley, hoisin sauce, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, ginger, and fish sauce in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and well combined. Add sausage and pulse filling until just combined.
- Place 4 gyoza wrappers at a time on a clean, flat surface. Fill a small bowl with water. Add about a 1/2 tablespoon of filling to the center of each wrapper. Moisten 1/2 the circumference of each wrapper using a wet finger. Quickly fold each wrapper in half and pinch 5 to 6 pleats along the edge to seal. Place filled gyoza on a plate and cover with a moist paper towel to prevent drying out. Continue with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Whisk rice vinegar, soy sauce, green onions, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, and ginger root together in a bowl. Allow dipping sauce to sit at least 15 minutes before serving.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Steps:
- Combine ground pork, cabbage, egg, spring onions, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, sake, mirin, and ginger in a large bowl; mix well.
- Place approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons of the pork mixture in the center of each gyoza wrapper. Moisten your fingers with water and rub around the edges of each wrapper. Fold wrappers in half over filling, creating a semi circle. Take one side of the wrapper and make crimps along the edges for a decorative pattern (like pleats of a skirt) and press along the edges to seal the two sides together. Ensure there isn't much excess air caught inside the dumpling. Repeat until all the pork mixture is used.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place as many gyoza in the skillet as fit in a single layer and fry until the bottom is browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add water to skillet and reduce heat. Cover and allow gyoza to steam until all the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining gyoza.
- Mix rice vinegar and soy sauce together for a dipping sauce and serve with the gyoza.

VEGETARIAN GYOZA WITH SPICY DIPPING SAUCE
The traditional filling is pork and cabbage, but they're often stuffed with chicken, seafood, or vegetables. I grew up eating gyoza this is just one of many variations. (serving size is 4 gyoza and 1 tablespoon of sauce if serving as an appy - I would suggest doubling sauce if you serve as a meal with hot rice)

PAN-SEARED GYOZA
Gyoza are plump, Japanese dumplings typically filled with a mixture of ground pork, cabbage, chives, ginger and garlic. They originated as a spin-off of Chinese jiaozi, but they differ in many ways, particularly in how they are wrapped: Gyoza have very thin wrappers sealed with signature pleats, while Chinese jiaozi have thick wrappers that vary in how they are sealed. Throughout Japan, you can find gyoza steamed, pan-fried and deep-fried, and in recent years, lattice-edged dumplings have become popular. Made by pouring a slurry of flour and water into the pan with the dumplings, the water evaporates and the batter creates a crisp, lacy net. This pan-fried version is adapted from "The Gaijin Cookbook: Japanese Recipes from a Chef, Father, Eater, and Lifelong Outsider," a collection of Japanese recipes from the chef Ivan Orkin, an owner of two ramen shops in New York. (Instructions for creating a lattice are below the recipe.)

Steps:
- Prepare the gyoza dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and rice vinegar, plus chile oil, if using. Set aside (makes a generous 1/2 cup).
- Finely chop the cabbage or process it in a food processor into confetti-size bits, then transfer it to a sieve set over a large bowl. Toss with 2 teaspoons of the salt and let sit for 20 minutes in the sink. Gently press the cabbage to squeeze out as much water as you can.
- Combine the drained cabbage, pork, ginger, garlic, chives, soy sauce, sesame oil and the remaining 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl and mix thoroughly just until everything is evenly distributed. (Don't overdo it: Too much handling and the fat in the pork will begin to melt.)
- Here's where you want to employ some extra hands to help you: Fill a small bowl with water. Sprinkle a rimmed sheet pan or two with cornstarch or potato starch to prevent the finished gyoza from sticking. For each gyoza, place a wrapper in the palm of your hand and spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the filling into the center. Use the back of the spoon to smoosh it lightly (it should fill about half the wrapper). You don't want the filling to run to the edges, but you also don't want it sitting in a fat clump in the middle. Dip your finger into the water and run it along the perimeter of one half of the wrapper. Now fold the wet edge of the wrapper over to meet the dry edge. Crimp the edges together at one corner, then proceed around the dumpling, using your finger to push the dough into little pleats on one side and pressing them against the other side to seal it. (If you need more guidance, there are hundreds of gyoza-folding videos online.) Place the gyoza on the sheet pan as you finish them. If your gyoza seem to be sticking to one another, sprinkle each layer of gyozas with potato or cornstarch.
- To pan-fry the gyoza, you will need a lidded 10-inch nonstick pan or a well-seasoned carbon steel pan. (You could also use whatever skillet you have, but increase the oil and keep a close eye on the gyoza.) Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in the pan over medium heat. When hot, add 10 to 15 gyoza, flat-side down, and cook until browned on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Add enough water to come just under a quarter of the way up the gyoza (about 1/2 cup, depending on how many gyoza you have in the pan), cover, and let the water cook away until the pan is dry and the gyoza wrappers have softened completely, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high, and let the gyoza crisp up on the bottoms for another minute or two, depending on how crisp you like them. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce and additional chile oil. Wipe the pan clean and cook the remaining gyoza. (Alternately, uncooked gyoza can be frozen on a baking sheet in a single layer until firm and then stored in resealable plastic bags for a couple months. To cook frozen gyoza, add a second batch of water in step 4 after the first batch evaporates.)
Tips:
- To make the perfect gyoza wrapper, use a thin and pliable dough. Wonton wrappers or dumpling wrappers work well.
- Make sure the filling is well-seasoned and flavorful. You can adjust the ingredients to suit your taste.
- To prevent the gyoza from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet.
- Cook the gyoza over medium-high heat until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the gyoza immediately with the ginger dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Pork gyoza with ginger dipping sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The gyoza are filled with a flavorful mixture of pork, vegetables, and seasonings, and they are pan-fried until crispy. The ginger dipping sauce is the perfect complement to the gyoza, adding a zesty and refreshing flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
