Sweet Corn & Pork Gyoza

Corn gyoza (popular in Hokkaido) is all about texture. The 'pop' of sweet corn kernels against the soft dough is delightfully satisfying. The sweetness pairs perfectly with savory pork, creating a sweet-and-salty balance that is addictive, especially when dipped in butter-soy sauce.

Recipe FAQ

Corn kernels roll around, so you need a 'binder.' Pork (or tofu with cornstarch) acts as the glue holding the kernels together.
