Looking for a recipe to try.
No pork.

have no idea where to start google ftw ?

Glad you were able to +1 in my thread. Thanks.

No pork for dumplings? Sad.

Nope, no pork.
No recipe to try in a thread where OP is requesting a recipe? Sad.

why dont u learn the original instead? the chinese make the original dumplings. look up recipe for won ton or dim sum or bao, so many different kinds.
japanese gyoja is the watered down version. super mild flavor.. they domesticated the once fierce and mighty dumpling.
the chinese also use the MOST legit dumpling sauce u'll ever have. the dumbed down version is parts 2:1:1 soy sauce, vinegar, red chili flakes.

e: for chinese dumplings ground pork is a must. i love the texture of some shrimp in it as well. the flavor will come from fish sauce, chinese 'fish cake', soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, garlic, ginger, green onion, a lil sake or mirin. u can add something for texture variation as well, some kinda crisp like fine chopped cabbage.

mix all together, then tuck w/ a spoon into the skins. so many shapes to make, its like origami. get creative, test some ideas out. make sure they are all completely sealed or theyll burst when cooking cos the inside will expand a bit. boil time depends on amount of filling, use ur chef sense to know when its done. average id say 5 min. dont overcook, drain and rinse in cold water. if u fry, ur lookin at mebe 7 min on medium heat, 3min, flip, 2 min flip, 1 min/1min (use a lid) when its a deep golden brown its ready.

a good chinese technique is to cook in batches. dont crowd ur pot or pan when boiling/frying.

I'm not looking for the Chinese version so there's no reason for me to learn it?
No pork either...

You gave me a recipe for something I didn't ask for help with and then managed to include pork in it when I specifically said no pork..

I don't quite follow your logic in posting what you did?

My g/f loves vegetarian gyoza. Don't have a recipe though.

Check this one recipe of beef-shrimp http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pot-stickers-chinese-dumplings/detail.aspx

And a youtube video as to how to make gyoza where you would use the recipe above instead of the pork:

Just replace the pork for beef or whatever? But don't expect it to be as tasty...
