Wet the half of the gyoza wrapper edge with a little bit of water on your finger tip.
Fold the wrapper in half and seal the edge with a fork.
Deep frying the gyoza
Pour enough vegetable oil in a deep-frying pan (if you have) or in a fry pan.
Heat the oil to about 180 celsius degree (356 F).
Deep fry the wrapped gyoza a few at a time.
When the gyoza is golden brown, drain the excess oil off and place it on a wire rack lined with a paper towel.
Repeat the process for the rest of the gyoza
Serve with cut lemon.
