Tips for Making Gyoza with Vegetables
- We like to serve this with our easy dipping sauce! The recipe is included below.
- Square Potsticker wrappers can be substituted.
- To reheat simply cover with a paper towel and microwave for 10 seconds.
- Freeze in zip lock type freezer bags for up to 3 months. We recommend placing them on a baking sheet to freeze first, then within 12 hours place them into a ziplock bag and place back into the freezer. This will help keep them from sticking together!
