Equipment

  • Traeger Flatrock griddle
  • Burger press
  • Spatula
  • bowl and spoon
  • Steam lid
  • Cutting board and knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 dozen wonton wrappers
  • 3 green onions
  • 1 carrot
  • 3 tbsp herbs basil and cilantro
  • 2 tbsp garlic
  • 2 tsp Garlic Junkie seasoning
  • 1/2 cup thinly shredded cabbage
  • 1 Fresno pepper for topping
  • 1/4 cup Teriyaki BBQ sauce for dipping
  • 1/4 cup Sweet chili sauce for dipping

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine ground pork, finely shredded cabbage, diced carrots, chopped green onions, minced garlic, basil, cilantro, and Garlic Junkie seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  • Shape the Meatballs: Form the mixture into tablespoon-sized balls. Set aside.
  • Cut the Wonton Wrappers: Using a drinking glass, cut the square wonton wrappers into rounds.
  • Preheat the Traeger Flatrock: Set the Traeger Flatrock to medium-high heat and let it preheat for about 10 minutes. Ensure the surface is clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
  • Cook the Gyoza: Place the meatballs on the Flatrock, leaving space between each. Top each meatball with a wonton wrapper round. Cover with a piece of parchment paper and use a burger smasher to press the entire thing thin.
  • Flip and Steam: Once the meat begins to turn golden brown, flip the gyoza with a spatula. Cover with a lid or steam dome and add a bit of water to create a steamy environment. Cook until the wonton skin is tender and the meat is fully cooked.
  • Serve: Remove the gyoza from the Flatrock and let them cool slightly. Top with thinly sliced Fresno pepper and green onion. Serve with teriyaki BBQ sauce and sweet chili sauce for dipping.
