Finely chop the cabbage and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, toss, and set aside for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Peel and grate the carrot. Finely chop the green onions, both white and green parts, and place them in a mixing bowl.
Squeeze out the excess water from the cabbage by wrapping it in a clean kitchen cloth and pressing firmly.
In the mixing bowl, combine the processed cabbage, grated carrot, green onions, ground chicken, minced garlic, minced ginger, salt, pepper, sesame oil, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well integrated.
Take one dumpling wrapper and place about a tablespoon of filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half, and press firmly to seal, making sure no filling is exposed. If desired, create pleats along the edge for decoration.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place dumplings flat side down in the skillet in a single layer, ensuring none touch. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully pour in the water and immediately cover with a lid to steam the dumplings for about 5 minutes, or until the water has mostly evaporated.
Remove the lid and let the remaining water evaporate completely, allowing the bottoms to crisp up again for another 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining dumplings, using additional oil as needed.
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
