Jiaozi or if fried, pot sticker, is a type
of dumpling commonly eaten across Eastern, Central and Western Asia. Though
commonly considered part of Chinese cuisine, jiaozi are also commonly eaten in
many other Asian countries.
Jiaozi typically consists of a ground meat
and/or vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is
then sealed by pressing the edges together or by crimping. Jiaozi should not be
confused with wonton; jiaozi has a thicker skin and a relatively flatter, more
oblate, double-saucer like shape (similar in shape to ravioli), and is usually
eaten with a soy-vinegar dipping sauce (and/or hot chili sauce); while wontons
have thinner skin and are usually served in broth. The dough for the jiaozi and
wonton wrapper also consist of different ingredients.
