Lay out 3 dumpling wrappers and place 1 tablespoon filling in each. Lightly rub the edges of the dumpling with water.
Fold the dumpling over the filling. Crimp the dumpling edges closed so it has pleats. Place on a parchment lined pan. Repeat with remaining filling.
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium heat in a non-stick skillet.
Place dumplings, flat sides down in the skillet. Cook until lightly browned on one side.
Add ½ cup water to the pan, cover and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook 6 to 7 minutes or until water has evaporated and dumplings are cooked through.
