Prepare the filling by mixing ground chicken, chopped green onions, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

Finely chop cabbage and carrots, then add to the chicken mixture and combine well.

Take a dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of filling in the center.

Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold it in half to create a half-moon shape.

Press the edges together firmly to seal the dumpling, making sure there are no air pockets.

Repeat the process until all filling is used.

Heat a steamer over boiling water and arrange dumplings in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.

Steam the dumplings for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.

For pan-fried dumplings, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and add dumplings in a single layer.

Fry until the bottoms are golden brown, then add water to the skillet and cover to steam for 5-7 minutes.

Remove the lid and continue cooking until the water evaporates and the bottoms are crispy.

Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
