  3. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 12 to 15 gyoza to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup water; cover and cook until water is absorbed, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer gyoza to a plate. Repeat with remaining gyoza.

  4. Make the dipping sauce: Mix soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and Sriracha together. Serve dipping side alongside gyoza.

Tips

To make hanetsuki gyoza (crispy wing gyoza), which is famous in Japan, add 1 1/2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon flour to the water before adding to the skillet in Step 3.

Substitute 3 garlic chives for the greens onions and garlic clove if desired.

The sauce ratio is 1 part soy sauce: 1 part seasoned rice vinegar: 1/4 part sesame oil, plus Sriracha sauce to taste.
