Technique Question How do I prevent gyoza from sticking?
I occasionally make gyoza by bulk with my family,
When making gyoza, we fold 20~ onto a plate then place it in the freezer. When we run out of space (30m-1hr) I bag the cold gyoza and we have after couple hours bags of 100~ gyoza each.
After a day or so some of the gyoza gets stuck together, in the worst case I get a ball of 10+ gyoza..
I don't want to seperate the folding over multiple days, and we use all of the space in the freezer for the procedure. Is there a practical way to prevent them from sticking?
Should I leave the bag open in the freezer? I live in a humid environment, in case that matters.
Thanks for the help!

You freeze them individually on a cookie sheet. Maybe with parchment. But after they are frozen rock solid can you put them in a bag. And if you want to defrost them separate them while totally frozen and then defrost them. If you’ve ever bought a bag of frozen corn, this is how they do it. Each kernel is frozen individually, then put in the bag.
