Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges together to form a pleated shape.
Cook the Dumplings:
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the dumplings in the skillet, flat side down. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden and crispy.
Add the water to the skillet (be careful, it might splatter) and cover the pan. Let the dumplings steam for 5-7 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.
Serve:
Once cooked, remove the dumplings from the pan and place them on a plate. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve with soy sauce for dipping.
Tips:
You can also freeze these dumplings for later. Simply arrange them on a baking sheet and freeze until firm before transferring them to a bag.
Experiment with fillings like shrimp, beef, or vegetarian options to customize the dumplings.
