  • 125 grams ground pork
  • 75 grams cabbage very finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • In a small bowl, combine the cabbage and salt. Set aside for a few minutes. After some time, drain the excess water from the cabbage.
  • Add the pork, garlic, leek, ginger, pepper, sesame oil, and soy sauce to the cabbage. Mix thoroughly.

  • Fry for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, or until the bottom of the gyoza is golden brown.
  • Add the 1/3 cup of water and cover the frying pan. Cook until the water evaporates and the gyoza top turns translucent.
