Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, diced mushrooms, chopped onion, and diced chicken.
- Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, ground ginger, garlic powder, freshly grated daikon radish (if using), and chopped cilantro or parsley to the bowl. Stir well until all vegetables and meat are coated with the seasonings.
- Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each gyoza wrapper, leaving about an inch of space around the edges. Fold and pinch the edges to seal tightly, forming half-moons or any preferred shape.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the gyoza directly onto the pan without overlapping. Let them cook until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour water into the skillet to cover the bottom of each gyoza nearly halfway up their sides. Cover the pan with a lid and steam-cook for 8-10 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the gyoza look puffed and golden brown on top.
- Once cooked, gently remove gyoza from the skillet using tongs and place them on a plate. Serve immediately garnished with sliced green onions if desired.
