Notes

Storage: Store in the refrigerator and eat by the next day. However, for the best texture, enjoy them right away, as they will lose their crunchiness over time.
Ginger-Soy Sauce: Blend 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce, ½ Tbsp Sugar, 1 Tbsp Vinegar, 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil, 1 Scallion (chopped), and one clove Ginger (grated) in a bottle.
Flattening the gyoza allows you to use less oil when frying.

Be careful not to add too much rice, as it will make it difficult to seal the wrapper.
