Add the ground chicken to a bowl and set it aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 15 to 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add the chopped white portion of the cabbage and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the green part of the cabbage, scallions, and salt and cook for another minute, until the greens start to wilt.
Turn off the heat and let everything cool in the pan for about 5 to 8 minutes.
Transfer the vegetables and spices to the bowl with the chicken. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil and stir to combine all the ingredients.
Fill a small bowl with water for wrapping the dumplings. Grab a baking sheet for the finished dumplings and a towel to cover the dumplings to prevent them from drying out.
Dip the dumpling wrapper into the bowl of water. Rotate the wrapper so that ½ or ⅔ of the wrapper is wet, creating a wet border about ¼ to ½-inch wide.
Place the wrapper on your left hand, the wet side facing away from you. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of the wrapper.
Pinch together the wrapper on the right. Using your index fingers, create a pleat. Seal the pleat towards the right. Continue creating and sealing the pleats to the right until you reach the end of the dumpling.
Continue pleating dumplings until you are out of filling or dumpling skins. If you notice that the dumplings are starting to dry out, cover them with a dry towel.
Heat a large nonstick pan with 1 ½ tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Arrange the dumplings over the pan. Pan fry the dumplings for 2 to 3 minutes, until the bottoms are golden.
Pour about ¼ cup of water into the pan. Cover the pan, reduce the heat slightly to medium, and cook for 6 to 7 minutes.
Uncover the pan and let the dumplings cook for another minute or two, until the water is evaporated. Transfer the cooked dumplings to a plate.
Repeat this entire cooking process if you want to cook the remaining dumplings.
Mix all the dipping sauce ingredients together. Serve the potstickers with the dipping sauce.
