Knead and Rest:
Allow the dough to cool slightly, then knead it on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Prepare the Filling:
Mix Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Assemble the Dumplings:
Roll and Cut Dough:
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out circles of dough.

Fill and Seal Dumplings:
Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges if desired for a decorative touch.
Fry the Dumplings:
Heat Oil:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the dumplings to achieve a crispy exterior.

Fry Dumplings:
Add the dumplings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the dumplings for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Drain Excess Oil:
Transfer the fried dumplings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve:
Serve Warm:
Serve the fried dumplings warm with your favorite dipping sauce. They are perfect with soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or a garlic yogurt dip.
