→ Dipping Sauce
13 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
14 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
15 - 1 teaspoon chili oil, optional

# How To Make It:
01 - Combine ground pork, napa cabbage, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, sugar, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
02 - Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place 1 heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
03 - Moisten the edges of each wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon and press gently to seal. Flatten slightly with your palm to smash the dumpling.
04 - Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place half the dumplings flat side down and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden.
05 - Add 2 tablespoons water to the pan and cover immediately. Steam for 2 to 3 minutes until the wrappers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
06 - Remove the lid and cook for another 1 minute to re-crisp the bottoms. Transfer to a serving plate and repeat process with remaining dumplings and oil.
07 - Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil if using, and toasted sesame seeds in a small bowl.
08 - Serve gyozas hot with the prepared dipping sauce.
