My favorite thing to snack on is Gyoza, or Dumplings. Fried, Steamed, Boiled, I love them just the same. It is in fact no surprise that I have created the simplest and best dumpling recipe for you to follow along with. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!


In a mixing bowl combine your ground Pork, chopped Shrimp, minced Ginger and Spring Onion. Add in a tsp of Soy Sauce, a few taps of Garlic Powder, and a half cup of chopped Spring Onion. Give it a sprinkle of salt and black pepper and mix well.

Taking a spoon, scoop out a tablespoon into the wonton wrapper. Wet the edges with a small amount of water and fold pressing together.

Bring a pot of water to boil if you plan to boil them.

In a small bowl you can make your sauce, this chunky soy sauce based dip has the right amount of spice and sweet, just how I like it. Mix 1/4 Cup Soy Sauce, 1/4 Cup Spring Onion, 1/4 Cup Cilantro, Gochujang Paste, Honey, Sesame Oil, Rice Vinegar, Minced Garlic, Minced Pickled Ginger, Chili Flakes and Black Pepper.

Add your dumplings to the pot and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until they float. Pan frying is my personal favorite, heat olive oil in a pan and saute on both sides til brown. Add in 1/4 Cup Water and cover immediately to let them steam through while still remaining crispy.

Serve hot and enjoy! The best appetizer and/ or snack you can share.
