Finely chop the cabbage and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
Grate the carrot and finely slice the green onions.
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the ginger.
In a large bowl, combine ground pork, cabbage, carrot, green onions, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Take a gyoza wrapper and place it in the palm of your hand. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.
Wet the edges of the wrapper with a small amount of water using your fingertip.
Fold the wrapper in half to enclose the filling and press the edges together to seal. You can create pleats along the edge for a traditional look, ensuring they are tightly sealed.
Repeat this process with the remaining filling and wrappers.
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the gyoza in the skillet, flat side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 0.25 cup of water to the pan and cover immediately. Allow the gyoza to steam for about 5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.
Remove the cover and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the bottoms crisp up again.
Transfer the cooked gyoza to a serving plate and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
