In a large bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, shredded cabbage, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
In a non-stick skillet or griddle, lightly coat the surface with cooking oil and preheat over medium heat.
Pour a small amount of the beaten egg onto the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it into a thin, even layer, approximately 6 inches in diameter. Cook until the egg is set and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture to make 8 wrappers.
To make the dough for gyoza wrappers, mix almond flour and xanthan gum in a bowl. Gradually add water to form a dough. Divide dough into 8 portions.
Roll out each portion between sheets of parchment paper to create a thin gyoza wrapper.
Place about 2 teaspoons of the pork filling into the center of each wrapper.
Fold the gyoza wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press edges together to seal tightly. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
In a large non-stick pan, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Arrange gyoza in the pan in a single layer.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Add water, cover the pan with a lid, and steam for 5-6 minutes until the pork is cooked through.
Remove the lid and continue cooking until the bottom is crispy again, about 1-2 more minutes.
Serve the gyoza hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or a low-carb gyoza dipping sauce.
