In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetarian chicken crumbles, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Place a dumpling wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling mixture into the center of the wrapper.
Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger. Fold the wrapper in half to create a semicircle, pressing and sealing the edges tightly around the filling. You can pleat the edges for a traditional look if desired.
Repeat the process with the remaining filling and wrappers.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place a batch of potstickers in the skillet, ensuring they are not touching.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to steam the potstickers. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the bottoms to re-crisp.
Transfer the cooked potstickers to a serving plate and repeat the cooking process with the remaining potstickers, adding more oil as needed.
Serve hot with soy sauce or a dipping sauce of your choice.
