jiaozi definition and meaning

What is "jiaozi"?

Jiaozi, also known as Chinese dumplings, are a popular dish in Chinese cuisine that feature thin dough wrappers filled with a savory mixture of meat and vegetables. The filling may include ingredients such as pork, beef, shrimp, cabbage, and scallions, which are seasoned with a blend of spices such as ginger, garlic, and soy sauce. The dough wrapper is made with a mixture of flour, water, and salt, which is then rolled out into thin circles and filled with the mixture. The dumplings are then steamed, boiled, or pan-fried until they are tender and cooked through. Jiaozi are often served with a dipping sauce made with soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil, which adds a tangy and spicy flavor to the dish.
