Pin A fusion appetizer combining crispy wonton chips, savory gyoza filling, and a spicy sriracha mayo drizzle, Japanese Gyoza Nachos are perfect for sharing at parties or enjoying as a unique snack.
The first time I made these nachos was for a game night with friends, and they disappeared faster than any other appetizer I’ve served. The playful fusion of textures and flavors always gets rave reviews.
Ingredients
- Wonton Chips: 24 square wonton wrappers, vegetable oil (for frying)
- Gyoza Filling: 200 g ground pork, 1 cup napa cabbage (finely shredded), 2 green onions (finely sliced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp ginger (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Sriracha Mayo: 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 2 tbsp sriracha sauce (to taste), 1 tsp lime juice
- Toppings: 1/2 cup shredded carrot, 2 tbsp pickled ginger (chopped), 2 tbsp black sesame seeds, 2 tbsp sliced green onions, 1 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Wonton Chips:
- Cut wonton wrappers diagonally to form triangles. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 175°C (350°F). Fry the wonton triangles in batches for 1 2 minutes until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Make the Gyoza Filling:
- In a skillet over medium heat, add ground pork. Cook until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon. Add cabbage, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 2 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 3 minutes until cabbage is tender. Remove from heat.
- Prepare Sriracha Mayo:
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust sriracha to taste.
- Assemble the Nachos:
- Arrange wonton chips on a serving platter. Spoon gyoza filling evenly over the chips. Drizzle with sriracha mayo. Top with shredded carrot, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, green onions, and cilantro if using.
