Step 1
Mix pork, cabbage, green onion, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl until combined.
Step 2
Wet the edge of each wrapper with water, add 1 tsp filling to center, fold in half, and press to seal.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Add dumplings flat-side down in a single layer. Don't move them. Cook until bottoms turn golden brown, 3–4 minutes.
Step 5
Pour 1/4 cup water around the dumplings, cover with a lid, and steam 5–6 minutes until water mostly evaporates.
Step 6
Whisk remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Serve dumplings hot with sauce for dipping.
