Gyoza have become very popular in restaurants across the globe. These fried dumplings are often filled with meats and vegetables and served with a soy-vinegar dipping sauce. With a chewier, thicker skin than a wonton, gyoza is a variant of the popular Chinese potsticker. Utsunomiya, capital city of the Tochigi Prefecture, is in fact famous for its gyoza, featuring over 200 restaurants that serve the popular dish.
