Shape the Dumplings
After the dough has rested, divide it into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball into a thin circle. Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges to seal. Ensure no filling is leaking out.

Steam the Dumplings
Set up a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil. Place the dumplings in a single layer on a steaming tray or bamboo steamer lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Cover and steam for about 15-20 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through.
