12.Put the whipped filling in the middle of the round slice.

13. Wrap the dumplings neatly and place them on the lid. (My way of making dumplings is to squeeze them, so the edges are a little big and they look a little ugly, haha).

14. Bring water to a boil in a pot, put the dumplings in, and use a spoon to gently push them along the edge of the pot to prevent them from sticking.

15. After putting the dumplings in, boil the water again, add a cup of cold water, cover the pot and continue cooking.
