- Cook until the bottom of the gyoza turns golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add ¼ cup of water to the pan. Immediately cover with a lid and steam the gyoza for about 3 minutes or until most of the water evaporates. (At this stage you can add about 1 tbsp of corn flour in the water and mix well before pour water in, this will give an extra crisp around the corners of the dumpling).
- Remove the lid to evaporate any remaining water. Add 1 tsp sesame oil around the frying pan. Cook uncovered until the gyoza is nice and crisp on the bottom..
