Pork and Chive Gyoza/Potstickers

These little flavor bombs are a hassle to make, but they are worth it. There are a lot of possibilities when it comes to gyoza, I went with a classic pork and chive combo. If you wanna get a little more creative, you can use a blend of different meats, add some kimchi in the filling, the combinations are truly endless.

Pork and Chive Gyoza

1 pound ground pork

1/4 cup chopped green onions

2 Tbsp chopped chives

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tbsp Ponzu sauce

1/2 jalapeno, diced

1 egg

1 package round dumpling wrappers

3 Tbsp sesame oil, or canola oil

for sauce:

1 part soy sauce

1 part white vinegar

Directions

1. Sauté green onions, onions, garlic and jalapeno until soft, about 5 minutes. Mix into pork-egg mixture until combined.
   
   
2. Place about 1 Tbsp of meat into the middle of the wrapper, brush the sides with water. Fold into a half moon shape. With your index finger, fold pleats on dumplings, make about three.
3. Pan-fry in sesame oil for 3 minutes, until brown. Then pour enough water into the pan cover a little less then half of the potstickers, cover for 5-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate, enjoy!
4. For sauce, combine soy and vinegar.
