Put a piece of dumpling wrapper on the palm of your hand, and use a spoon to place an appropriate amount of filling in the center of the dumpling wrapper. Then fold the dumpling wrapper in half and pinch the edges on both sides to seal tightly. Next, fold the two ends of the dumpling in half and adjust the shape of the dumpling into a semicircle.

Put the wrapped dumplings into boiling water and cook until the dumplings float and the skins are cooked. The time for cooking dumplings is generally 3-5 minutes, and the specific time can be adjusted according to your own taste preferences.
