Making gyoza dumplings from scratch is something that I have done many times. They are delicious, but incredibly time consuming and fiddly to make. If you are making your own dough it's a bit of an effort, so for practical purposes I would buy ready made.

If you take the effort of making the gyoza dough out of the equation, aside from the fiddly assembly of putting the right amount of pork mixture into the little rounds and sealing them, this dish is easy! Well, at least making the filling and the gyoza dipping sauce is!

Exactly the same as above!

I adapted my gyoza recipe because I wanted the delicious flavors, but not as a dumpling. The filling recipe works incredibly well in a stir fry, you still get those amazing flavors but without having to serve them as gyoza dumpling.

I'm a celiac, I've been having to adapt recipes to make them gluten free since I found out. Some things have gone off the menu completely for me, but some I just manage to adapt and enjoy the flavors in a different way. This pork stir fry is 100% gluten free!
