Prepare the flour and water mixture while waiting
Add it once the Gyoza is sizzling
Once it's boiling, cover with a lid
Cook 6 mins
Open the lid. Keep cooking on medium heat
Once the water is mostly evaporated, you'll see the Gyoza can move on the pan
Turn off the heat
Place a plate on Gyoza, then flip. Serve.

when you flip. You might burn your hands.
So Wipe the excess oil before flipping if necessary
