 Jiaozi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The jiaozi should not be confused with the wonton: the jiaozi dumpling has a thicker skin, is shaped slighly like a tiny turnover, and is usually eaten with a soy-vinegar dipping sauce (and/or hot chili sauce); while a wonton has a thinner skin, is shaped like a comet, and is usually served in broth.
Dumplings are eaten with a soy sauce-based dipping sauce that may include garlic, ginger, rice wine, hot sauce, and vinegar.
This dumpling consists of a ground meat or vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by crimping.
