Crispy pan-fried Vegan Gyoza (Jiaozi) are Japanese Vegetable Dumplings, also called Potstickers. They’re made with simple Homemade Dumpling Wrappers that can be made gluten-free, then filled with healthy veggies, and steamed until tender. This recipe is pretty easy and includes an easy to follow step-by-step instruction + video.

  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅔ cup hot water (160ml)

  • 1 carrot (100g) (shredded)
  • 7 oz mushrooms (200g) (finely chopped)
  • ½ stick leek (60g) (finely chopped)
  • 7 oz cabbage (200g) (shredded)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tsp sriracha (or sambal oelek (optional))

Directions

  1. 1

    *Note: I highly recommend watching the recipe video!

  2. 2

    Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the water while stirring to combine. Transfer to a working surface and knead for about 3-5 minutes until you have a smooth and soft dough. Form into a ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Finely chop the veggies and heat the oil in a large pan.

  4. 4

    Add 1 heaped teaspoon of filling to the center of the dumpling wrapper. Brush the edges with water and fold the dumpling creating hand fan pattern or as desired (see step-by-step pictures or recipe video in the text above), making sure to seal the seams.

  5. 5

    Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the gyoza and fry for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are nicely browned. Pour in about 1/4 cup of water and cover with a lid. Steam for 7-8 minutes or until the water has evaporated.

  6. 6

    Mix all ingredients for the dipping sauce together.
