Grease a cleaver with oil then use the flat side of the cleaver to press each piece of dough into a thin circle. A rolling pin may be used to shape the dough circle. 3. Place 1 portion of the filling in the center of a dough circle. Hold the filled circle with one hand and fold it slightly. Starting at the end, use the index finger and thumb of the other hand to pinch the ends of the same side together. Gather the outside edge to form pleats. Pinch the edges together.
