In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, and salt.
Slowly pour boiling water into the flour mixture, stirring constantly with a spatula until it forms a dough.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth, then cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling: chop prawns into small pieces and mix with minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, and shredded cabbage in a separate bowl.
Divide the rested dough into 24 portions and roll each into a ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter.
Place a teaspoon of the prawn filling in the center of each dough circle. Lightly wet the edges with water, fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and press to seal the edges.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Place about 12 gyoza in the pan (being careful not to overcrowd) and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Add 50 ml of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid to steam for 5-7 minutes, until the water has evaporated and the gyoza are cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining oil and gyoza.
Serve the gyoza hot with your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce.
