In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. If you like a bit of heat, add chili paste. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Take one gyoza wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand. Spoon about one teaspoon of the beef mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
Wet the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a large non-stick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Place gyozas in the pan, flat side down, without overcrowding. Cook for about 2 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully pour 60 milliliters of water into the pan to create steam, then cover the pan immediately. Reduce the heat to medium and let the gyoza steam for about 5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.
Uncover and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes to crisp up the bottoms. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining gyozas, using the second tablespoon of oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
