1 1/2 c gluten-free flour (Bob's Red Mill flour is good)
4 tsp xantham gum
1 tsp salt
2 - 2 1/2 c boiling water
2 Tbsp oil
Filling
1 lb ground pork
2 c thinly sliced napa cabbage
3/4 c shredded carrots
1/2 c thinly sliced green onion
6 cloves minced garlic
1 1/2 Tbsp minced ginger
1/4 c soy sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Dipping Sauce
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp rice wine or white wine vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
dash of chili powder
optional grated garlic or ginger
Dumpling Dough
Sift the gluten-free flour into a large bowl.
Add the other dry ingredients, except for the salt, and whisk until mixed well.
Pour 2 cups of boiling water into a high temperature measuring cup, add the oil and salt and mix well.
Pour the water in small batches into the dry ingredients, using a spatula to mix the water in, forming a dough. Add more boiling water as needed to form a doughy consistency.
Turn the dough out onto a floured cutting board and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is springy and elastic.
Split the dough into quarters and roll each quarter into logs 1 1/2" high.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes while you make the filling.
Filling
Mix the vegetables, spices, and soy sauce in a large bowl.
Add the ground pork and hand mix thoroughly.
Assembly
Cut the dough logs into 1" slices and press using a tortilla press into about 4" rounds.
Place about a tablespoon of filling in the center and fold and crimp, as described in the original recipe above.
Cooking
Lightly oil a saute pan and saute on medium high heat for about 3 minutes until the gyoza are golden on the bottom.
Add about a quarter inch of water to the bottom and cook, covered, adding water periodically, until the dough is well cooked and the pork filling reaches 160 degrees, about 10 minutes.
Dipping Sauce
Mix the ingredients into a small bowl for dipping.
You can freeze a cookie sheet of gyoza and transfer them to an airtight bag to store and cook up later, using the same instructions as above.
