- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Instructions
- Prepare the filling by mixing ground pork, chopped cabbage, green onions, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
- Take one gyoza wrapper and place about one tablespoon of filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water and fold to create a half-moon shape; pinch to seal.
