Ingredients
  • 15-20 pieces Frozen Gyozas (Vegetable or Pork)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fresh Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds
  • 1/4 cup Water

Making the Sesame Ginger Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk well until the honey is dissolved. This sauce provides a sweet and savory flavor that complements the gyozas.

Pan-Frying the Gyozas

Heat the sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the frozen gyozas in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.

Cook the gyozas for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Pour the water into the skillet. The water will sizzle and create steam. Immediately cover the skillet with a lid.

Steam the gyozas for 4-5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the gyozas are cooked through. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Pour the sesame ginger sauce over the gyozas in the skillet. Toss gently to coat the gyozas evenly in the sauce.

Cook for another minute, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and glaze the gyozas. This step adds a beautiful sheen and intensifies the flavor.

Serving

Transfer the sesame ginger gyozas to a serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

FAQ

  • Can I use fresh ginger and garlic powder instead of fresh?

    While fresh ginger and garlic are preferred for the best flavor, you can substitute with 1/4 teaspoon of ginger powder and 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder if needed.
  • What kind of gyozas work best for this recipe?

    Both vegetable and pork gyozas work well. Choose your favorite or what you have on hand. Chicken gyozas are also a good option.
  • Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

    It's best to serve the gyozas immediately after cooking to ensure they remain crispy and the sauce is at its best. However, you can prepare the sesame ginger sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
  • I don't have rice vinegar. What can I use instead?

    White vinegar or apple cider vinegar can be used as substitutes for rice vinegar. Use the same amount as specified in the recipe.
