Rolling the Dough
After the dough has rested, divide it into small portions (about the size of a golf ball). On a floured surface, roll each portion into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter).

Filling the Dumplings
Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal. Make sure there are no air pockets inside.
Frying the Dumplings

Heating the Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure there's enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.

Frying the Dumplings
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the dumplings in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Draining the Dumplings
Remove the dumplings from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
