Assemble the dumplings: Roll out the dough thinly (about 1-2 mm). Cut into small squares (about 3x3 cm). Place a small amount of filling in the center of each square. Fold the dough over to form a triangle, then bring the two corners together and pinch to seal, creating a small, crescent-shaped dumpling.

Fry the dumplings: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the dumplings in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
