• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Step 3: Pleat and Seal Starting from one end, pleat the edge of the wrapper and press to seal, creating a crescent shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5: Steam and Crisp Add water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and steam the gyoza for a few minutes until they are cooked through. Remove the lid and let them continue cooking until the bottoms become crispy.

Step 6: Prepare Dipping Sauce While the gyoza cook, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and any optional ingredients for the dipping sauce.
