Typically when I make gyoza, I either run out of wrappers or get tired of forming the potstickers, and so I end up with left-over meat filling. The meat filling is tasty on its own so in the past I have cooked the remaining meat in small patties or meatballs and drizzled it with the gyoza dipping sauce. It’s been such a hit that this time around, I skipped the step of making potstickers altogether and simply made the meat filling, forming it into mini patties for gyoza sliders.
