Step 1
Mix ground pork, cabbage, green onion, and soy sauce in a bowl until combined.
Step 2
Lay a dumpling wrapper flat. Add 1 tbsp filling to the center, then wet the edge with water.
Step 3
Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon, pressing the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Place dumplings flat-side down in a single layer. Fry undisturbed for 3 minutes until golden and crispy.
Step 6
Flip each dumpling and fry for 1 more minute. Serve hot.
