Tender, low carb gyoza lettuce wraps filled with gyoza dumpling filling and an amazing sauce to drizzle on top! Have your gyoza without the wrapping!
We love gyoza! Like love love! But only when they are home made. So far. I challenge anyone to tell me where you can purchase a gyoza that is better than homemade.
We posted a recipe for our Homemade Gyoza a while back that are the most delicious gyoza I have had yet. Toot toot! That’s me tooting our little horn. Lol
Along with the fresh ginger, garlic, and other veggies in our gyoza, I think one of the things that makes our gyoza so good is the amazing dipping sauce that goes with them. Its over the top good. I could just drink the stuff.
Soooo… what if you are craving a gyoza, but you don’t feel like pinching a million dumplings together, you don’t want the extra carbs, or you are gluten intolerant or celiac?
You make gyoza lettuce wraps! The same tender pork and vegetable dumpling filling and amazing dipping sauce wrapped with a piece of lettuce instead!
So damn good! Debbie and I made these for lunch the other day and we couldn’t stop eating them! I will admit that they get a little messy as the sauce can kind of leak out a bit as you eat them, but its totally worth it. Believe me!
I think I want one of these lettuce wraps right now…
