5. Place 2 heaped teaspoons of the meat mixture in the center of each circle then fold in half, to form a semicircle shape. Press to seal the edges.

6. Heat a large frying pan and add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. When oil is very hot (but not smoking), add the dumplings a few at a time, making sure they don't touch one another. Cover the pan and cook the dumplings on high heat for 5 minutes.

7. Sprinkle with cold water, cover and cook for a further five minutes. (This will steam the top of the dumplings). Repeat adding water a further two times until the bottom of the dumplings are a golden brown color.
