In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, ground black pepper, shredded zucchini (or cabbage), potato starch, and toasted sesame oil. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Set up your dumpling station: have a shallow dish of warm water ready for soaking the rice paper, your prepared filling, and a clean surface for assembly.

Take one rice paper wrapper and submerge it in the warm water for about 15-20 seconds, or until it becomes pliable and soft. Do not oversoak, as it can become too sticky to handle.

Carefully lay the softened rice paper flat on your clean work surface. Place about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the filling in the center of the rice paper.

Fold one side of the rice paper over the filling to meet the other side, creating a half-moon shape, similar to an empanada. Gently press down on the edges to seal the dumpling, ensuring no filling escapes. Repeat this process for the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling.

To pan-fry: Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the dumplings in the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the chicken filling is fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).

Alternatively, to air fry: Lightly spray each side of the dumplings with cooking spray. Place them in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the cooked dumplings from the pan or air fryer. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
