Knead the dough lightly until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Divide the dough into small balls or patties.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat.

Drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook until they float, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the dumplings with a slotted spoon and drain.

Fry the dumplings until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
