Ingredients
- 1 small head of cabbage

- 1 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a soy-free option)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage Wraps: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully peel the cabbage leaves and blanch them in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes until they are soft. Remove and set aside to cool.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

- Cook the Gyozas: Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the gyozas and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
