Description

Smash Gyoza is a crispy and flavorful take on traditional dumplings where gyoza are smashed flat in a hot pan to maximize surface crispiness, then steamed and served with a savory dipping sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 20 gyoza (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Dipping Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped green onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the gyoza flat side down in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until bottoms are golden and crisp.
  3. Using a spatula or flat-bottomed glass, gently press down on each gyoza to flatten slightly (smash).
  4. Add the water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam for 3–4 minutes, or until water has evaporated and gyoza are cooked through.
  5. Remove the lid and cook for another 1–2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
  6. Meanwhile, mix all dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  7. Serve the smash gyoza hot with dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed to ensure crispiness.
  • Smashing gently ensures the filling stays intact while maximizing crispy edges.
  • Great as an appetizer, snack, or part of a larger meal.
