Dough
In a large bowl, add flour, salt, hot water and shortening or 1 tablespoon oil. Mix into a smooth dough. Set aside and allow dough to rest for 20 minutes, covered.
Assemble
When dough has rested, turn out of bowl onto a floured work surface.
Roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thick.
Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out 3-inch circles.
Brush a little water over a circle.
Place about 2 teaspoons prepared filling in center.
Fold the circle in 1/2. Press to seal, making sure to squeeze out any air.
Stand the dumpling up on the folded side and press slightly so that they stand up nicely.
Repeat with all remaining dough circles.
Cook - Boil
Place a pot of salted water over medium high heat and bring to a boil.
Add dumplings, a few at a time, do not crowd, and cook until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Remove from water and drain well.
Repeat with remaining dumplings. (NOTE - The dumplings may be frozen at this point for future use. Allow to thaw before frying.)
Cook - Fry
Place about 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet.
Place over medium heat.
When oil is hot and shimmering, fry the dumplings on one side only, until nicely browned.
Remove to a paper towel-covered plate to drain.
Serve with the dipping sauce.
