Chop half of a small cabbage into small pieces and add to a food processor.

Process the cabbage until desired consistency is reached.

Add the processed cabbage to a bowl with 1 and 1/2 lb of ground chicken.

Chop 2 medium onions and add to the food processor, then add to the chicken mixture.

Add a handful of cilantro to the food processor, process to the same consistency as the cabbage, squeeze out excess water, and add to the chicken mixture.

Chop additional green onions by hand, add to the chicken mixture, and squeeze out excess water.

Add sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger garlic paste, black pepper, and salt to taste to the chicken mixture.

Mix all ingredients in the bowl thoroughly.

Use store-bought dumpling wrappers for filling and wrapping the dumplings.

Take a small spoonful of the filling and place it on a dumpling wrapper, dip a finger in water to seal, and fold into a semicircle shape.

Use a dumpling mold to create a pattern on the edges, if desired.

Heat a large pan on medium heat with 1-2 tablespoons of oil.

Arrange dumplings in the pan, ensuring they lay flat for even browning.

Cook dumplings for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Flip the dumplings to brown the other side, then add water to the pan and cover immediately to steam.

Cook for another 5-6 minutes until most of the water has evaporated.

Let the dumplings cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a nice color on the bottom.
