In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, green onions, cabbage, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Place a gyoza wrapper in the palm of your non-dominant hand and add about 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture to the center.
Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your finger, then fold it in half to create a half-moon shape.
Press the edges together to seal, making small pleats if desired. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the gyozas in the skillet, flat-side down, in a single layer without overcrowding.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 60 milliliters of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the gyozas to steam for about 5 minutes.
Uncover and continue to cook until the water has evaporated and the bottoms are crisp again, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the gyozas from the skillet and repeat with the remaining gyozas.
Serve immediately with soy sauce or a dipping sauce of your choice.
