Ah, Gyoza, one of Japan’s most popular dishes. What is not to love and, also, what is not CUTE about these little delectable umami bites of ground meat and vegetables wrapped in a thin dough and dipped in a yummy sauce? You can crochet these gyozas for imaginative play food, of course, but dare to dream! I see travel buddies, desk accessories, garlands, and even ornaments!
