In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add warm water while stirring with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cabbage, carrot, and black pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a log about 1-inch in diameter. Cut each log into 8-10 pieces for a total of about 36-40 pieces of dough.
Using a rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into a 3-inch circle, keeping the center slightly thicker than the edges.
Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Gently add dumplings to the boiling water, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the dumplings float to the surface and the filling is cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings from the pot and transfer them to a serving dish.
Serve the dumplings hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
