Prepare the filling by mixing ground pork, chopped green onions, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, shredded cabbage, and grated carrot in a bowl until well combined.

Place a dumpling wrapper in your palm and add a spoonful of filling in the center.

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half, and pinch to seal tightly, ensuring no air is trapped inside.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Arrange the potstickers in the skillet, flat side down, and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Add water to the skillet, cover immediately, and steam the potstickers for 5-7 minutes or until the water has evaporated.

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to crisp the bottoms again.

Serve hot with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce and vinegar.
