Gyozas are among the most popular and basic dishes of Japanese cuisine. It may seem like a challenging recipe, but you’ll see for yourself how simple they are to make and how everyone loves them, even kids.

There are three types of Japanese dumplings. The yaki gyoza (the most popular in Japan), which is first pan-fried and then steamed afterwards. The other type is the age gyoza, which is deep fried, leaving the wrapper crispy. And last but not the least is the sui gyoza, with the dumplings boiled in water or broth.
