Knead the dough about twenty strokes then cover with a damp
towel for 15 minutes. Take the dough and form a flattened dome. Cut into strips about 1
1/2 to 2 inches wide. Shape the strips into rounded long cylinders. On a floured surface,
cut the strips into 3/4 inch pieces. Press palm down on each piece to form a flat circle
(you can shape the corners in with your fingers). With a rolling pin, roll out a circular
wrapper from each flat disc. Take care not to roll out too thin or the dumplings will break
during cooking. Leave the centers slightly thicker than the edges. Place a tablespoon of
filling in the center of each wrapper and fold the dough in half, pleating the edges along
one side (see images above)
