Place a tablespoon of the beef mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, and press edges together to seal.

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, then add the dumplings, cooked in batches if necessary.

Cook the dumplings for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Repeat with remaining dumplings.
