I pinched the edges tightly, but some of them still opened during cooking. Now I have to find the time to make a second batch Sad
Any tips?

Following ! I always have this problem ! OP, what do you fill your kreplach with ? Can I use boiled chicken from soup ? Do I mash and mix with something else ?

Put in the filling when it's already cooked & don't overfill. Put the uncooked kreplach in to the soup right before the meal, when you're heating up the soup for serving.

Use warm water on your hands to pinch the dough shut.

Moisten the edges before pinching g them closed. Then let them dry for at least ten minutes before cooking them.

I lightly fry them in frying pan with just a bit of oil. Add them to soup to heat up just before serving. Works like a charm.

Beat an egg white and use a pastry brush or your fingers to brush the edges before you seal them.
You can use chopped soup chicken if you add salt, spices, an egg and a lot of sautéed onion. If you just use plain soup chicken it’ll come out dry and bland.

Twist the top oriental style.
I used ground chicken
I also boil first remove and dry and dump them in the soup at the very end
