15 Minute Gyoza Broth Bowls

When you’re craving something warm, cozy and packed with flavor but don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen, these Gyoza Broth Bowls are the answer! Frozen gyoza are simmered in a savory, flavorful broth with tender Napa cabbage for an easy meal that comes together in about 20 minutes.
The broth is simple but incredibly delicious, made with chicken stock, coconut aminos, ponzu and sesame oil. The ponzu adds a bright, citrusy tang while the coconut aminos bring just the right amount of savory depth.
I love finishing these bowls with a handful of sesame seeds, fresh cilantro and pickled onions for a pop of color, crunch and acidity. And if you like a little heat, a drizzle of chili crisp takes them completely over the top!

Tips for the Best Gyoza Broth Bowls
Use your favorite frozen gyoza. Chicken, pork, shrimp or vegetable gyoza all work beautifully in this recipe.
Don't skip the ponzu, which is a citrusy soy sauce facsimile. It adds a bright flavor that keeps the broth from tasting too heavy, but a squeeze of lime can work in a pinch.
Add the toppings at the end. The fresh cilantro, pickled onions and sesame seeds provide texture and freshness that make each bowl so much better.
Make it your own. Add sliced mushrooms, bok choy, green onions, spinach or even a soft-boiled egg for an even heartier bowl.  Adding a splash of full fat coconut milk or coconut cream can make a creamier broth if desired.
