JAPANESE GYOZA
This is a great recipe for Gyoza. It is a little time consuming to make, but oh so worth the effort. A gyoza press makes the job easier. It makes 100 gyoza. I make them all and freeze the others (uncooked)for another time. The dipping sauce is so tasty that you will tempted to get up in the middle of the night and stick your finger in for a little taste. MMmmmm!

Tips:
- Choose the right wrappers: Gyoza wrappers can be found in most Asian grocery stores. Look for wrappers that are thin and pliable, with a slightly chewy texture.
- Prepare the filling in advance: This will give the flavors time to meld together. You can make the filling up to a day ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
- Use a variety of fillings: Gyoza can be filled with all sorts of things, such as pork, chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and tofu. Get creative and experiment with different combinations.
- Fold the gyoza carefully: The folds should be tight and secure, so that the filling doesn't leak out during cooking.
- Cook the gyoza in a hot pan: This will help to create a crispy bottom and a tender filling.
- Serve the gyoza with a dipping sauce: A simple dipping sauce made with soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil is a classic choice.
