Gyoza is one of the most convenient foods to have around. I make this recipe and freeze what I don’t use right away (it makes a lot!). Since I always have a bag tucked in the freezer, when I’m feeling lazy or there’s nothing else to eat in the house, I can make an instant meal of of them. You can buy frozen gyoza at the store, but making your own is leaps and bounds better, in my opinion.
I’ve posted a gyoza recipe once before. That one is all meat, but this one incorporates napa cabbage and has a more Japanese, rather than Chinese, flavor. I’ve been making this version more often because the flavors are mild and I like that the cabbage makes the filling softer.
