Spoon about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the pork mixture into the center of each gyoza wrapper. Wet your fingers with water and run them around the edges of each wrapper. Fold the wrappers in half over the filling to make a semicircle. On one side, crimp along the edge to form decorative pleats, then press the edges together to seal. Make sure there is minimal excess air inside the dumpling. Repeat until all the pork mixture is used.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange as many gyoza in a single layer as will fit and fry until the bottoms are browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add water to the skillet and lower the heat. Cover and steam the gyoza until all the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining gyoza.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
