UMAMI Ajinomoto Gluten Free Vegetable Gyoza (12 Pieces)

Ajinomoto's best-selling gluten-free gyoza in Japan, now easy to enjoy at home. Made with Japanese-grown cabbage, onion, garlic chives, and garlic, these dumplings deliver a juicy vegetable filling wrapped in a rice-flour skin with a satisfying, mochi-like chew. No wheat, egg, or dairy — just authentic Japanese flavour, straight from the freezer to the pan.

Why you'll love it:

• No oil or water needed to cook — just pan-fry from frozen, covered, for about 5 minutes
• Free from wheat, egg, and dairy
• Made with 100% Japanese-grown vegetables (cabbage, onion, garlic chives, garlic)
• 12 pieces per pack
• Contains soybean and sesame seeds

How to cook:

1. Place the frozen gyoza in the pan before turning on the heat. (If using a pan that sticks easily, add a little oil.)
2. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes — no water required. (If cooking a small batch of 5 pieces or fewer, steam over low heat. For induction cooktops, 800W–1000W is recommended.)
3. Remove the lid and cook until the moisture has evaporated.
