No-Fold Gyoza are Gyoza dumplings with pork filling but without complicated folding. Usually, you seal the Gyoza skin to keep the filling neatly inside by making kind of troublesome pleats. But here, the filling is merely wrapped in the skin by rolling. Super easy! It may not look as pretty as the regular one, but it’s still as tasty as always. This also freezes beautifully. One day make multiple batches and freeze, and have Gyoza dinners later on busy nights. No defrosting needed beforehand, but just cook a little longer. Hope you try this simple but delicious Gyoza soon!
