In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, shredded cabbage, chopped scallions, grated carrot, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Add salt, white pepper, sesame oil, half of the water, and the egg to the pork mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Place one dumpling wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water using your fingertip. Fold the wrapper in half to enclose the filling, pinching the edges firmly to seal and create a pleated edge.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Arrange the pot stickers in the pan in a single layer, pleated edge up. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the pan, cover, and reduce the heat to medium. Steam the pot stickers for 5-7 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the pork is cooked through.
Remove the lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.
Transfer the cooked pot stickers to a serving plate. Repeat the process with the remaining pot stickers, adding more oil as needed.
Serve hot with your favorite soy-free dipping sauce.
