Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a 10-inch non-stick pan and spread it evenly. Arrange 8-10 dumpling wrappers in the pan, overlapping them slightly to form a circular base, covering the entire bottom of the pan.

Spoon the prepared filling onto the layer of wrappers in the pan and spread it out evenly over the surface, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Place another 8-10 dumpling wrappers on top of the filling, overlapping them as done for the base, ensuring the filling is completely covered.

Gently press down the edges of the top wrappers to seal them with the bottom layer and the filling. This creates a large, enclosed dumpling.

Pour 1/4 cup of water into the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and steam over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is mostly cooked.
