  • lean ground pork 9 oz
  • sesame oil 1 Tbsp, plus 1 tsp extra
  • soy sauce 1 Tbsp

  • fresh ginger 3 tsp, grated
  • gyoza wrappers (round wonton wrappers), 20 (180g)
  • vegetable oil 1 Tbsp
  • teriyaki sauce ½ cup
  • brown sugar ½ tsp
Instructions
  1. Combine the chestnuts, sliced scallions, mince, 1 tsp sesame oil, soy sauce, 1 clove garlic and 2 tsp ginger in a bowl. Place a heaped teaspoon of the mixture in the centre of each wrapper.
  2. Brush the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold in half to make a semi-circle shape and press the edges together. Repeat with remaining mixture.
  3. Heat half the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add half the gyozas and cook for 1 minute on one side or until the bases are browned. Add ¼ cup water to the pan. Reduce the heat to low. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and steam for 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining vegetable oil and gyozas.
  4. For the dipping sauce, slice the remaining scallions. Combine with remaining sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a small bowl. Add the teriyaki sauce and brown sugar and stir well to combine.
  5. Serve gyoza with dipping sauce.
