Air Fryer Gyoza

Japanese pork-and-cabbage dumplings cooked from fresh with crisp bottoms and tender wrappers, without a skillet steam-fry.

⏱ 40 min total🔪 20 min prep🔥 20 min cookMediumServes 4Japanese

Ingredients

  • 24 round gyoza wrappers
  • 8 oz ground pork
  • 1 cup green cabbage, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • as needed neutral oil spray
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar

Directions

  1. 1Mix pork, cabbage, green onions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch until the filling becomes slightly tacky.
  2. 2Place 2 teaspoons filling in each gyoza wrapper; moisten the rim with water, fold, pleat, and press firmly to seal.
  3. 3Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes and lightly oil the basket before adding the pork-filled gyoza.
  4. 4Arrange 12 gyoza flat-side down in one layer, mist the tops with oil, and air fry 8–10 minutes without shaking.
  5. 5Check after 8 minutes; remove when the wrappers are blistered and the pork filling reaches 160°F (71°C).
  6. 6Cook the second batch the same way and serve with rice vinegar mixed with a little soy sauce if desired.

💡 Seal the pleated edge firmly and keep filling off the wrapper rim; exposed pork juices can prevent the seam from closing and make dumplings burst.
