Start by making the gyoza wrappers. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and slowly add 0.75 cup of hot water while stirring with a spoon until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
For the filling, finely chop 200 grams of plant-based chicken, 100 grams of cabbage, a medium carrot, 2 stalks of green onions, and mince 2 cloves of garlic along with 1 inch piece of ginger.
In a bowl, combine the chopped ingredients with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a log and cut into 10 pieces, keeping them covered with a towel to prevent drying.
Roll each piece into a thin disc about 3 inches in diameter using a rolling pin. Repeat for all pieces.
Place around 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Wet the edges with a little water, fold over to form a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal tightly.
In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the gyoza in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the pan, cover immediately with a lid, and steam for about 6-8 minutes.
Remove the lid and allow any remaining water to evaporate while the gyoza continue to fry for another minute.
Transfer to a plate and serve with soy sauce, or dipping sauce of your choice.
