In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped cabbage, grated carrots, green onions, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined.
Add the low sodium soy sauce and sesame oil to the mixture and stir until everything is well incorporated.
Place one wonton wrapper on a clean working surface. Add about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Ensure there are no air bubbles.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the dumplings to the skillet in batches, ensuring they do not touch each other. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms turn golden brown.
Gently add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to steam the dumplings. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the water evaporates.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the dumplings are crisp on the bottom.
Repeat the frying and steaming process with the remaining dumplings.
Serve the dumplings hot, optionally with a low sodium dipping sauce or plain for a healthier option.
