Gyoza is a popular Japanese dumpling made out of chopped cabbage, minced meat and seasonings wrapped in a very thin dumpling sheet. Usually cooked by boiling, steaming, pan frying, or deep frying but the most popular one a combination steaming and pan frying. This little wonder originated in China from a dish called Jiaozi, the name was then derived from the reading of the word giaozi the Shandong Chinese dialect for Jiaozi. Initially the process and ingredients of both are nearly the same but as time passed by it slowly adjusted to Japanese preference which makes it richer in garlic flavour, less salty, and use of thinner wrappers.

A really nice dish to have on the side, though sometime you can have it as mains if you really liked it. For this recipe we will be using some chicken and prawns as its filling
