Gyoza vegan, the vegan recipe of classic Japanese meat ravioli

Making vegan gyoza at home isn’t as difficult as it sounds. They are easy to make and the end result will blow everyone away.

The vegan gyoza are the revisited version of the classic Japanese ravioli to please those who do not use animal derivatives. Thus, instead of the usual meat filling, we will use a mix of stir-fried vegetables that will make this dish even lighter. The dough will obviously be egg-free , but with the use of these ingredients you will still make a very tasty vegan recipe.

Gyoza are usually served as an appetizer in traditional restaurants or on stalls during popular festivals. Serve them with some spicy and spicy sauce : we offer them with a soy sauce and rice vinegar!
