What do you do when you have a few wonton wrappers and some random vegetables sitting around that need to be used up? Vegetable gyoza comes to the rescue. Now before you get all up in a tizzy and correct me in my culinariousness I am going to concede that true gyoza are made from a different dough than a wonton skin but these are pinched in the gyoza way thus they are gyoza - so there.
The filling is a little bit of this and that like carrots and ginger and spinach, green onion and a tiny bit of celery all mixed with a little cornstarch to bind and creased into the skins then fried until golden.
I made a little dipping sauce out of siracha chile sauce, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar and served up the quickest and tastiest lunch you could want and as far as I am concerned these are gyoza but if you want to make the real ones here is a gyoza recipe.
Dont forget about my calendar!

Since you made it, you can call it anything you want! Sounds like a great item to me!
You sure know how to make the odds and ends look pretty. They're gorgeous, doggy, and yummy too - I'm sure!

I always save the gyoza for last whenever I order a bento box from a Japanese restaurant. It like my pre-dessert treat.

You do have a flair for presentation, even when you're "winging it."

AWESOME! These look and sound out of this world.
I think I need to start asking you for help with the random ingredients I have around the house and never know what to do with. You are such a food genius!!

Delicious delicious delicious! I wish I had a few waiting for me in my kitchen...yum!
You titled this winging it, so the whole way of reading I kept thinking where's the chicken. Then I had to read the title again because I was sure it had something to do with chicken.
Looks delicious, even without the chicken.
Aren't wontons great, how they can pretend to be something else and pull it off. You sure did it here. I love your choice of ingredients for the dipping sauce.
I love using wonton wrappers - so much easier than from scratch and you get perfect results every time.
And a great way to use up leftovers!
Yum! I've yet to even make ravioli out of wonton wrappers... I'll add this to my list!
I love these! My son discovered egg rolls recently and he loves them. I'd bet he would like these too! The dipping sauce sounds spicy and delicious also!!
i love gyoza. trader joes makes a good one that takes less time but probably not as fun. unless you're naked.
Mmmmm wow! Delicious!
