1/2 tsp sugar

Gyoza sauce:

Yummy!

Procedure:

 Combine ground pork,cabbage,green onions,onions,garlic,ginger,salt and pepper,soy sauce,sesame oil, oyster sauce, rice flour, sugar, sake in a bowl. Mix everything together with your hands, making sure the mixture is not uneven. Cover the bowl and put into refrigerator for atleast 30 minutes.

Take a gyoza wrapper and place a gyoza filling in the middle. Dab a little water on the side of the wrapper and fold in two to make a semi circle. While folding, create waves while pinching. This is called "crimping", way to seal up the dumpling. Put into tray with flour dusting. Repeat this step until all gyoza's are made.

Put 1tbsp of oil on a pan and heat. I use olive oil on this one. Put your dumpling and fry for 2 minutes, then reduce the heat.

Add about half a cup of water and cover the pan. Steam the dumplings until the water evaporated.

Add another 1 tsp of sesame oil on the side of gyoza. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on a low heat.

Place the dumplings upside down onto a plate and serve with gyoza sauce. Best served while still hot. :D
