8. Roll dumpling dough into a log (approx. 30 cm). Divide into 24 equal portions (approx. 15 g). Working 1 portion at a time, flatten dough with your hand into a disc. Using a rolling pin, roll out into a thin circle (1 mm thickness, 8 cm in diameter).
9. Set aside a small bowl of water. Place dough circle into your hand and place 1 heaped tablespoon of filling in the centre. Dip your finger into bowl of water and wet all edges of the dough. Bring up the edges at 3 separate points and pinch together at the top/centre to form a triangle. Press together the open sided to seal the dumpling and ensure there are no air pockets. Cover with a damp kitchen towel. Repeat with remaining dough and filling to form remaining dumplings (makes approx. 24).
10. Place a jug onto mixing bowl lid and weigh 120 g water into it.
11. Place a frying pan over medium-high heat and add oil. Working in batches, place dumplings into pan flat side down (do not let dumplings touch each other in pan). Press down to flatten base, then cook until golden brown on the bottom (approx. 2-3 minutes).
12. Add reserved water to the pan, immediately cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes. Remove lid and continue to cook until the base of the pan is dry and the underside of the dumplings are crisp again (approx. 3-4 minutes). Repeat with remaining dumplings and more water. Serve immediately with sauce and garnishes of choice (such as a black vinegar dressing, chilli oil, fresh coriander and toasted black sesame seeds).
