Jiao
Jiao is a traditional Chinese dish made from dumplings filled with various ingredients, such as meat, vegetables, or seafood. These dumplings are typically boiled, steamed, or pan-fried, and are often served with dipping sauces.

The preparation of Jiao involves making a dough from flour and water, which is then rolled out and cut into circles.
