Directions

1. Step 1: Heat a heavy bottom pot of oil that has at least 3 inches of oil in it or use a deep fryer if you have one. Turn the heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. Step 4: Pinch off pieces of dough and roll them into long oval shapes. Make about 12 dumplings.
5. Step 5: Once the oil has reached the temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, fry the dough on all sides, until golden brown. This should take about 4-6 minutes.
6. Step 6: Remove dough and drain off any excess grease. Serve and enjoy.
