These ginger chicken fried gyozas have a delicately fragrant filling and irresistible crunch and chewy texture on the outside. This is finger food at its best. It is much easier to work with wonton pastry, so don't be afraid to try these! Serve with a simple dipping sauce of soy, sesame oil and rice vinegar.
In a bowl, combine the chicken, spring onion, cornflour and sesame oil.
Grate over the ginger and garlic using a fine grater. Salt and pepper generously, and stir together.
Place a teaspoon of the mixture in each wonton wrapper. Bring the middle edges together first, then make a small fan pleat and pinch this. Repeat on either side of the central pleat until all the wonton edges are sealed. Finish all of the wrappers.
Heat a frying pan and lightly coat with oil. Place the gyoza in the pan, careful to leave a little room in between. Cover with a lid and leave to brown on one side for 3 to 4 minutes. Splash a little water with your fingers in the pan, and cover again for 30 seconds. This will ensure the pastry doesn't stick to the bottom.
Turn the gyoza over and repeat on the other side.
Finish frying the rest of the gyoza.
