Chinese jiaozi are traditional dumplings made from a thin dough filled with various ingredients. They can be filled with meat, vegetables, or a combination of both, and are often seasoned with spices and sauces. Jiaozi are typically shaped like half-moons and can be boiled, steamed, or pan-fried. These dumplings are especially popular during the Chinese New Year as a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Families often gather to make jiaozi together, enjoying the process of folding and filling them. They are usually served with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil.
