Start by finely chopping the prawns. Ensure they are small enough to blend well with the other ingredients but not a paste.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped prawns, shredded cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, reduced sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix everything together until well combined.
Place a gyoza wrapper on a clean, dry surface and spoon approximately 1 teaspoon of the prawn mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger in the cup of water and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and press the edges together to seal, crimping to form pleats if desired.
Place the formed gyoza on a baking sheet dusted with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the gyoza flat side down in a single layer in the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce the heat to low and steam the gyoza for 4-5 minutes until the water evaporates.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium to crisp up the bottoms again, about 1-2 additional minutes.
Remove the gyoza from the skillet and repeat the cooking process with the remaining gyozas, adding the remaining tablespoon of oil as needed.
Serve the gyoza hot with a side of reduced sodium soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
