Tips

  • The longer the dough rests, the easier it is to handle.
  • Make sure the dough does not dry out, so cover it with cling film or keep it under a damp towel throughout the whole process.
  • If you're new to making dumplings, don't overfill your dough; start with less filling and as you get more practice, you can add more.
