Finely chop the green cabbage and green onions. Set them aside.
Mince the garlic and ginger.
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped cabbage, green onions, minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Place one wonton wrapper in your hand and spoon about a teaspoon of the pork mixture into the center.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets.
Repeat the filling and sealing process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until hot.
Carefully add the dumplings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the dumplings until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Remove the lid and allow any remaining water to evaporate. Cook for another 1 minute to achieve a crispy bottom.
Carefully remove the dumplings from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fried dumplings immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
