Gluten Free Gyoza Recipe Ingredients

A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

Gluten-free flour: This is the base of your potsticker dough, providing the structure for your delicious dumplings. You can use any gluten-free flour blend you prefer.
Xanthan gum: This ingredient helps to bind the dough together, giving it a chewy texture. If your gluten-free flour already contains it, feel free to omit it.
Tapioca starch: This adds a bit of lightness to the dough, making your potstickers tender and delicious.
Ground pork: This is the main protein in your filling, but you could easily substitute ground chicken, beef or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
Vegetables: Carrot, white onion, celery and napa cabbage add a lovely crunch and a burst of flavor to your potsticker filling.
Coconut aminos: This is a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce, adding a salty, umami flavor to both the filling and the dipping sauce.
Ground ginger, green onions, sesame oil, and garlic clove: These ingredients add a depth of flavour to your filling, giving it that authentic Asian flair.

Make the dough: Mix the flour, xanthan gum, tapioca starch, and salt in a stand mixer, then add the egg and then the water.
Rest the dough: Roll the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap, then let it sit for 15 minutes.
Make the potsticker filling: Finely dice the vegetables and combine with the other filling ingredients.
Assemble the potstickers: Make dough rounds and divide the filling between them, then close the dough rounds sealing them with water.
Add the egg wash: Mix egg and water and brush this over the assembled potstickers.
Cook them: Sauté them in oil, then add water, flip and steam on the other side.
Make the sesame sauce: Whisk the dipping sauce ingredients together, then serve with the finished potstickers, garnished with green onions.

Substitutions and Variations

Sauce: You could use soy sauce in these gluten free potstickers rather than coconut aminos. But most kinds have gluten in them, apart from tamari soy sauce, so bear that in mind. And check the labels.
Filling: Feel free to experiment with the filling; you can omit any of the vegetables or swap the ground pork for ground chicken or turkey.
Spice it up: Add a pinch of chilies to the filling for an extra kick, or add some hot sauce to the dip.
Optional additions: You can add other finely chopped vegetables of your choice to the filling. Just ensure they’re finely chopped to maintain the texture.

Serving Suggestions

Appetizer: Gluten-free potstickers make a great starter for your Asian inspired meal. Pair them with another dim sum like gluten-free egg rolls for a delicious and varied appetizer spread.
Main Course: These gluten-free potstickers can also be served as a main course with your favourite Chinese takeout-style dishes. For instance, they pair well with Panda Express copycat black pepper chicken or vegan tofu kung pao.
Drinks: To complement the Asian flavours of the potstickers, consider serving them with an elderflower mojito rum cocktail or a sparkling meyer lemon blackberry jam prosecco cocktail. These drinks add a refreshing touch to your meal.
