Welcome everyone to the world of Gyoza! Gyoza are a traditional Japanese dumpling, and making them at home is a great way to bring a taste of Japan to your kitchen. In this guide, I will explain how to fold Gyoza and make them look like the real thing. Let's get started! ## How to Fold Gyoza ##### Step 1: Preparing the Gyoza Wrapper To begin, separate your Gyoza wrapper and place one wrapper on a flat surface. Take a small bowl of water and dip your finger in it. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. ##### Step 2: Adding the Filling Using a spoon, place a teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper. Be careful not to overfill the wrapper or the Gyoza will not close properly. ##### Step 3: Folding the Gyoza Fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to seal the Gyoza. Make sure the edges are pressed firmly together to prevent the Gyoza from opening up during cooking. ##### Step 4: Pleating the Gyoza Starting from one end, pleat the wrapper by folding the edges inwards in alternate directions. Continue pleating until you reach the other end. Make sure to press the pleats firmly so that they stay in place. ##### Step 5: Finishing the Gyoza Once you have pleated the wrapper, press the two ends together to seal the Gyoza. Your Gyoza is now ready to cook. I hope you enjoyed learning how to fold Gyoza. Have fun making these delicious dumplings at home!
