Dumpling Preparation

To Fold:

Put about 2 tsp of filling in the center of one wrapper. Moisten the wrapper along the edge if you need to.

Fold the wrapper in half so it resembles a half circle.

Pinch the two places where the wrapper is folded over.

This is the bottom of the half circle.

Working from one end, gather a small fold on one side of the wrapper.

Pinch the fold onto the other, unfolded side of the wrapper.

(You are making pleats in one side)

Keep folding and pinching until the dumpling is sealed.
