Chinese Fried Dumplings Trial

They are actually cooking now as I type this. A few nights ago I was at a neighborhood bar and the only food they sold were fried pork dumplings. Being a dive bar (self consciously so) they clearly do not make them themselves but likely buy them in bulk from one of the many Chinatown dumpling houses nearby. I've had many nabe dumplings but these were different. I couldn't quite put my finger on it other than they had a nice balance of filling to skin (despite the fact that the bar microwaved them unevenly and some were cold). I've been craving them and hadn't been able to put them out of my mind. Yesterday I tried to find the source of these magical dumplings and failed. So I decided to make them myself. I tried different shapes although as you can see, diversity was rather limited.
