4. Sift the flour into a bowl, mix with water and knead the dough. Roll the dough into a sausage shape and cut it into equal pieces. Roll each piece in flour, then shape it into a ball. Roll each ball out thinly. Place a teaspoon (or more) of filling in the center of the resulting flat disc.

5. Seal the edges of the dumplings well. Chinese dumplings can be fried, boiled, or steamed. We will fry them. To do this, pour a little vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat over medium heat, then place the dumplings in the pan. Fry for 2 minutes, then pour in half a cup of water and cover with a lid. Once the water has evaporated, the dumplings are ready. The method is extreme, but it's worth a try :)
