Place approximately 1 tablespoon of filling in the center then fold over into a triangle shape; press edges together to seal shut then set aside on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat this process until all the filling has been used up.
4. Once all dumplings are formed you can either steam them or fry them in hot oil until golden brown; if you choose to fry them, be sure to keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!
