Form the Dumplings
Divide the rested dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter). Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Pan-fry the Gyoza
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the gyoza to the skillet, flat side down, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown (about 3-4 minutes). Carefully add water to the skillet (be cautious of splatter), then cover the skillet with a lid and steam the gyoza for about 5-7 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
