Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until hot.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Flatten each ball slightly to form a disc.

Carefully place the discs in the hot oil, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the dumplings and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
