Dumpling Folding Technique 4: The Bi-directional Pleat

This dumpling wrapping technique looks similar to the one-directional pleating method, but is perhaps a little bit more elegant. Basically, pleats are folded in towards the middle of the dumpling. This means that the folds are going in two directions left to right and right to left (again, with all folds going in towards the middle).

The easiest way to do this is to do two pleats on each side, so you have four pleats total. That said, as you get even better at it, you can create more smaller pleats to make your dumplings look even more professional!
