Fill the Dumplings
Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Cooking

Steam the Dumplings
Fill a steamer with water and bring it to a boil. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, making sure they are not touching each other. Cover and steam for 15-20 minutes until the dough is translucent and the filling is cooked through.
