In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped cabbage, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, and grated carrots.
Add the salt-free soy sauce alternative and sesame oil to the mixture and stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, fold it over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and press the edges together to seal. Pleat the edges for a traditional look, if desired.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Arrange the gyozas in the skillet, flat side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 0.5 cup of water to the skillet, immediately cover with a lid, and steam the gyozas for about 5-7 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
Serve the gyozas hot with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as reduced sodium soy sauce or a vinegar-based dipping sauce.
