gyoza wrappers

🥗Healthier: whole wheat wrappers

💰Cheaper: wonton wrappers

Whole wheat wrappers provide more fiber, while wonton wrappers are often cheaper.

In a bowl, combine the ground beef, Napa cabbage, red chili pepper, ginger, black pepper, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Place a small amount of the beef mixture onto a gyoza wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold in half, sealing the edges by crimping with your fingers.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Place the gyoza in the pan in a single layer.

Cook the gyoza for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

Add water to the pan, cover with a lid, and steam the gyoza for an additional 5-7 minutes until the filling is cooked through.

Serve the beef and cabbage gyoza hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy this flavorful and satisfying dish!
