Duck Duck Gyoza

I got an incredible Japanese knife from my brother as an early birthday/Christmas present recently. By his request, I agreed to make some Japanese food (specifically Gyoza) to honor this. Gyoza is a dumpling that's steamed then fried. It can be filled with just about anything, but I decided to splurge and use some delicious duck. They're delicious plain or with an accompanying dipping sauce I also made. The shape of the gyoza I made is a bit irregular from what you may see elsewhere, but I think they look better and I enjoy the resulting texture irregularity. Enough talk, let's get cooking.
