Gyoza
 
You will need:
1 lb. of ground pork
1 lb. of ground beef
Spring onions, about 8 cut finely till you get to the dark green part then cut 1inch pieces
Savoy cabbage, 1 medium head cut in 1 inch wedges and then shredded
5 or 6 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 large chicken bullion cubes, chopped finely
Salt and pepper to taste
1 to 2 tsp. sugar or 2 packs of equal
Vegetable oil for frying
Soy sauce
Won ton wraps
Small bowl of water
 
Place the meat in a large bowl and add bullion salt and pepper.  In another large bowl place the cabbage, onion, sugar, garlic, and a little more salt and pepper to taste.  Knead the cabbage mixture with your hands until cabbage becomes slightly wilted.  Add the meat mixture into the cabbage and blend well.
 
Using your fingers wet the rim of the won ton with water and add a little less than a teaspoon of the cabbage/meat mixture to the center of the won ton , then crimp or pinch the edges with your fingers until they are sealed.
 
Fry won tons in about 2 inches or so of vegetable oil in a pot or pan of your choice till golden brown. 
 
Serve hot with soy sauce or try ranch dressing and soy sauce mixed together for a different taste.  You can also take equal parts of Ketchup, mustard, soy sauce and sesame oil for another variation of sauce or kick it up by adding hot sauce.
 
These won tons are the best I've ever tasted.    I serve them with Goya yellow rice and follow the directions on the package and then add frozen peas and carrots at the end and cook for 5 mins. more then scramble about 2 eggs in a skillet and add them to the rice and this makes a very nice oriental side dish for the meal.
 
ENJOY!!
