Ingredients
  • 1 1/2cups finely chopped cabbage
  • 5medium-large shiitake mushroomsstems removed and caps minced
  • 1cup finely chopped nira (Chinese chives or garlic chives), or regular chives
  • 2 scallionsminced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 40 round gyoza dumpling wrappers
  • 4tablespoons canola oildivided
  • 4cups boiling waterdivided
  • Dipping Sauce
  • 1/2cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown rice vinegar
  • 1teaspoon hot pepper oil
Instructions
  1. To make dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, vinegar, and hot pepper oil in a small bowl or jar. Set aside until serving time.
  2. Place cabbage, mushrooms, chives, and scallions in a large bowl. Season with several generous pinches of salt and grinds of pepper. Use your hands to blend ingredients together.
  3. Fill a small bowl with cold water. Place 2 teaspoons cabbage mixture in the center of a gyoza wrapper. Lightly wet one finger in the water and trace around the inside of the gyoza wrapper; this makes it sticky enough to seal. Fold wrapper in half; gently press edges from right to left, pinching and folding every 1/4 inch to make a zigzag pattern. Repeat with remaining cabbage mixture and wrappers. Place completed dumplings crimped side up on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  4. Heat a large, deep skillet with a lid over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. When hot, reduce heat to medium-low and add 10 dumplings, crimped side up. Cook, uncovered, until lightly browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes. (Do not turn them over.) Pour 1 cup boiling water into the skillet. Cover and steam-cook dumplings over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, until tops are translucent and water is mostly evaporated. Transfer to a plate and keep hot. Repeat process with remaining dumplings, oil, and water.
  5. Serve dumplings immediately, golden sides up. Set out small dishes filled with dipping sauce.
