"Most people overfill their gyoza wrappers and then find it difficult to close them. Start with just half a teaspoon of filling, until you have perfected your folding and pleating." This advice highlights the importance of balance—less is more when it comes to filling for optimal closure. Chef Koj stresses that the correct amount will provide plenty of flavor without making closure difficult. It’s a lesson in restraint for home cooks looking to master gyoza preparation.
"A traditional filling for gyoza is ground meat, mixed with minced cabbage and aromatics like ginger, garlic, and scallion. You can stray from the traditional fillings; leftover birria taco meat makes for a unique culinary mashup." This encourages creativity in the kitchen, suggesting that while tradition has its place, innovation can lead to delightful new flavor experiences.
