Start by preparing the filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onion, diced water chestnuts, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Add sesame oil, salt, and rice vinegar to the vegetable mixture. Stir everything together until well combined. Set the filling aside.
Lightly dust a clean surface with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Lay out one gyoza wrapper and place approximately 1 heaping teaspoon of the vegetable filling in the center.
Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly, pleating as you go to seal the gyoza. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Once all gyozas are prepared, line a bamboo steamer or similar steaming basket with parchment paper (with small holes cut out for ventilation). Arrange the gyozas in a single layer, leaving some space between each to prevent sticking.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and set the prepared steamer over the pot. Steam the gyozas for 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are soft and translucent.
Carefully remove the steamed gyozas from the basket and serve immediately with your favorite soy-free dipping sauce, such as a mix of rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of chili flakes.
