Gyoza
Gyoza are thin-skinned dumplings filled with minced pork, cabbage, garlic, and chives, cooked 'yaki' style — pan-fried flat-side down, then steamed with a splash of water so the base is crisp and the top soft. In Japan they are a side dish, the partner to ramen or a bowl of rice, not a main. The filling is heavily garlicky. Vegetable-only gyoza exist but are not standard.
