Finely chop the cabbage and green onions. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped cabbage, green onions, garlic, ginger, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Dip your finger in water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle and press the edges together to seal.
If desired, pleat the edges of the dumplings for a decorative finish, ensuring there are no gaps or holes.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add sesame oil. Once hot, place the dumplings in the pan, ensuring they do not touch.
Cook the dumplings for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
Pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan and cover immediately with a lid to steam the dumplings.
Steam for about 5 minutes or until the water has evaporated and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another minute to crisp up the bottoms.
Serve the dumplings warm with a side of extra low sodium soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
