Rolled Pork Gyoza

While dining at one my favorite neighborhood restaurants, I strayed from my usual hot pot and opted for an order of the TonTon Famous Gyoza. I was expecting a steaming plate of pleated dumplings in the classic potsticker form, but instead, I was presented with a sizzling platter of what looked like Asian-style taquitos.
These simple rolled dumplings were a revelation. Not only were they much easier to prepare than traditional Gyoza (making them perfect for a weeknight meal), they also had twice as much of the dumplings’ tastiest feature, that golden-crisp skin. Yum!
