In a medium-sized bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt together. Gradually add warm water while stirring with a fork or chopstick until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
While the dough is resting, finely shred the cabbage and carrot. Chop the green onions, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the ginger.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrot, green onions, ginger, and garlic. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix the filling ingredients thoroughly and set aside.
After the dough has rested, divide it into two equal pieces. Roll each piece into a cylinder about 1 inch in diameter, then cut into 12 equal sections for a total of 24 pieces.
Roll each dough piece into a small ball, then flatten with your palm. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a 3-4 inch circle, ensuring the edges are thinner than the center.
Place a tablespoon of vegetable filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon, pinching the edges to seal tightly. You can pleat the edges for extra security.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a drizzle of cooking oil to the water to prevent dumplings from sticking together.
Carefully drop dumplings into the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking to the pot. Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the dumplings float to the surface.
Once cooked, remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate. Let them cool slightly before serving.
