Start by chopping the prawns into small pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the shredded cabbage, chopped green onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the prawns.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined to create the filling for the gyoza.
Prepare a clean surface to assemble the gyoza. Keep a small bowl of water nearby to help seal the wrappers.
Take one gyoza wrapper and place a heaping teaspoon of the prawn filling in the center.
Dip your finger in the bowl of water and moisten the edges of the gyoza wrapper.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
Pinch the edges together to seal, making sure there are no gaps. If desired, pleat the edges for a classic gyoza look.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, arrange the gyoza in the skillet, flat side down, making sure they are not touching each other.
Cook for about 2 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid.
Cook for another 5-6 minutes until the water has evaporated and the wrappers become tender.
Remove the lid and allow the gyoza to cook for an additional minute to crisp up the bottoms.
Serve the soy-free prawn gyoza hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
