Assemble Dumplings
After the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling (either pork or vegetable) in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.
Steaming
- 5
Steam the Dumplings
Place the dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper (to prevent sticking). Steam over boiling water for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through. Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
