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

Place a dumpling wrapper in the palm of your hand 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.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

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

Add a splash of water to the skillet and cover immediately to steam the dumplings for 5-7 minutes.

Remove the lid and cook until the water evaporates and the bottoms are crispy again, about 2 minutes.

Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate and serve hot with dipping sauce.
