  • 340 g of minced pork
  • 2 - 3 quarts canola oil (as much as needed for deep frying)
  • 1 tbsp. grape seed oil
  • Salt and ground black pepper

  • 1 tbsp peeled and chopped fresh ginger root
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce, plus a little more for serving (warm)
  • 2 tablespoons of water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Preparation:

  1. Heat grapeseed oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until browned. Drain any excess fat from the pan and add the green onions, ginger, and soy sauce. Cook until the flavors meld. Remove from heat.
  2. In a deep fryer, heat oil to 190°C or according to the manufacturer's instructions for this type of product.

    In a large pot of water, cook the wonton dough until al dente and drain well. Place the sheets on waxed paper.

    In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons water with cornstarch.
  3. Place a teaspoon of the prepared meat filling on each circle of dough. Fold to enclose the filling and pinch the edges, securing with diluted starch.

    Place the cooked gyoza in batches into the fryer basket to avoid overcrowding and to prevent the dumplings from sticking together. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

    Serve warm with soy sauce.
