The Method

1
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, diced shiitake mushrooms, grated carrot, chopped chives, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the cabbage to soften slightly.
2
To assemble the gyoza, place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of a gyoza wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal tightly. You can create pleats on one side for a more traditional look.
3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet.
4
Arrange the gyoza in the skillet, flat-side down, making sure they are not overcrowded.
5
Cook the gyoza for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
6
Pour in the vegetable broth and immediately cover the skillet with a lid. Reduce heat to low and steam the gyoza for 6-8 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated and the wrappers are translucent.
7
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the bottoms are crispy.
8
While the gyoza are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by combining soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using) in a small bowl.
9
Serve the gyoza immediately with the dipping sauce.

Chef's Tips

To prevent the gyoza from sticking to the skillet, use a non-stick skillet or add more oil.

If you don't have gyoza wrappers, you can use wonton wrappers, but they may be slightly thicker.

You can add other vegetables to the filling, such as spinach, bok choy, or water chestnuts.

The gyoza can be frozen before cooking. To freeze, place the assembled gyoza on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. Then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the steaming time.
