  • Combine water chestnuts, green onions, egg, pineapple, gochujang, parsley, hoisin sauce, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, ginger, and fish sauce in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped and well combined. Add sausage and pulse filling until just combined.
  • Place 4 gyoza wrappers at a time on a clean, flat surface. Fill a small bowl with water. Add about a 1/2 tablespoon of filling to the center of each wrapper. Moisten 1/2 the circumference of each wrapper using a wet finger. Quickly fold each wrapper in half and pinch 5 to 6 pleats along the edge to seal. Place filled gyoza on a plate and cover with a moist paper towel to prevent drying out. Continue with remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Whisk rice vinegar, soy sauce, green onions, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, and ginger root together in a bowl. Allow dipping sauce to sit at least 15 minutes before serving.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Fry gyoza 3 or 4 at a time in the hot oil until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes per batch. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
