Method -
For the filling, begin by removing some of the water from the cabbage by salting, leaving to rest 20 minutes before rinsing and drying.
Shred the cabbage, dice the mushroom, corriander and spring onion, and mince the garlic and ginger.
Comine all the filling ingredients together and mix thoroughly.
For the dough, add the oil and salt to the just boiled water. Gradually incorporate the water into the flour and form the dough. Roll the dough out into a long log and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, roll them into discs and dust each side with cornflour.
To make the dipping sauce combine the soy sauce and vinegar with the ginger, which has been finely julienned.
Wrap the gyoza and then cook by placing the flat side of the gyoza in frying pan with a shallow layer of oil. Once the underside is golden brown, half cover the gyoza in boiling water, put a lid on the pan and steam until cooked. If you want to get fancy, add a cornflour slurry at the end to form a lattice around the gyoza.
