Instructions
Step 1
Start by tossing the water chestnuts, green onions, egg, pineapple, gochujang, parsley, hoisin sauce, Sriracha, sesame oil, black pepper, ginger, and fish sauce into a food processor. Pulse everything until it’s finely chopped and well mixed. Then add the sausage and pulse a few more times just until it’s combined—don’t overdo it.
Step 2
Lay out about four gyoza wrappers on a clean, flat surface at a time. Fill a small bowl with water. Spoon roughly half a tablespoon of the filling into the center of each wrapper. Dip your finger in the water and run it around half the edge of the wrapper to moisten it. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling, then pinch and pleat the edges together—aim for about five or six folds—to seal them up nicely. Place the finished gyoza on a plate and cover them with a damp paper towel so they don’t dry out. Keep going until all the wrappers and filling are used.
Step 3
While you’re working on the gyoza, mix the rice vinegar, soy sauce, green onions, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Let this sit for at least 15 minutes so the flavors can meld together.
Step 4
When you’re ready to cook, heat some oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry a few gyoza at a time—three or four works well—until they turn a lovely golden brown, about three minutes per batch. Drain them on paper towels if you like, then serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.

Storage Tips
