Yaki Gyoza: Japanese-Style Pan-Fried Dumplings

27 comments


Yesterday I made yaki gyoza (Japanese-style pan-fried dumplings). I have made quite some varieties of dumplings in the past, simply because dumplings are one of my favourite foods. This time I used the recipe from Cooking With Dog, I am sure a lot of you are aware of this cute cooking channel in YouTube, if not you should definitely check it out...! It's my absolute favourite channel in YouTube and I have followed this channel since two years ago. I love the humour written at channel's header too "Cooking with Dog - It's not what you think" ;).

I have tried making gyoza in the past, but I never really knew how to pan-fry them correctly. Just look at my Chinese/Indonesian pan-fried dumplings. Do you see how ugly the bottom parts look ;)? Thanks to Cooking with Dog, now I know.

Yaki Gyoza


  • 120g Ground Pork
  • 100g Cabbage
  • 50g Onion
  • 50g Nira - Garlic Chives
  • 1/2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Sugar
  • A pinch of Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Sake
  • 1/2 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Potato Starch
  • 1 tsp Grated Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Grated Ginger
  • 1/2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • 25 Gyoza Skins
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • Flour for dusting
Gyoza Dipping Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Black/White Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Soy Sauce
  • Chili oil or sesame oil



Happy with the result, my husband loves the gyoza too :)!

  9. Looks delicious! I just learned about Cooking with Dog from Kay (I think you know her). It's funny videoclips and I was amazed how fast the lady moves and cooks (very efficient). I'm not very good with watching videoclips for cooking (I get distracted) but it was fun to watch one clip. Anyway, your gyoza looks great! My kids love gyoza and they can eat all the time! I hide all sorts of veggies in there. Hehehee.

  22. I haven't made gyoza for such a long time... I usually make the Korean mandu dumplings (with meat and tofu). I have always found difficult the pan-frying too! Now I know where to look for the tips. Thanks for sharing!
