There are many beautiful ways to wrap a dumpling. I call this style “classic” because it’s one fold you should know regardless where you are in your dumpling-making journey. The shape is great for pan-frying, steaming or boiling. This style uses the more popular 3” round wrappers (i.e. not square). I posted a video on social explaining the different types of wrappers and when to use which. If you’re interested, watch the video below.
