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

Place a gyoza wrapper on a clean surface 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, creating pleats if desired.

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

Arrange the gyoza in the skillet, flat side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Add water to the skillet (enough to cover the bottom) and cover immediately with a lid.

Steam the gyoza for about 5 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the gyoza are cooked through.

Remove the lid and let them cook for an additional minute to crisp the bottoms again.

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