'''Jiaozi''' (Simplified Chinese: 饺子; Traditional Chinese: 餃子; Pinyin: ''Jiǎozi'') are Chinese dumplings made from a thin wheat-flour wrapper folded around a savory filling. They may be boiled (shuijiao), steamed, or pan-fried (guotie / potstickers) and are central to northern Chinese meals as well as Lunar New Year celebrations across many regions.<ref name="wp">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiaozi English Wikipedia]</ref>

== Characteristics ==

A well-made jiaozi has a wrapper that is tender but intact, a generous but balanced filling, and clear cooking-method character—soupy when boiled, lightly chewy when steamed, crisp-bottomed when pan-fried. Dipping sauces often combine vinegar, soy sauce, chili oil, and garlic.

== Ingredients (overview) ==

Fillings commonly use minced pork, beef, lamb, chicken, or vegetables such as cabbage, chives, and mushrooms, seasoned with ginger, scallion, and soy. Wrappers are wheat-based. Shape and pleating styles vary by household and region. This page describes the category at overview level rather than a single recipe.

== History and culture ==

Dumpling-making is a long-standing part of Chinese wheat-food culture, especially in the north where wheat staples dominate. Families often gather to wrap jiaozi for festivals; the foods also appear in everyday breakfasts, banquets, and snack shops. Related forms include soup dumplings such as [[Xiaolongbao]] and many regional stuffed pastas.

== Serving and variations ==

Northern boiled dumplings with chive-pork filling are everyday fare; pan-fried potstickers are popular in restaurants; steamed jiaozi appear in banquet and dim-sum-adjacent settings. For snack culture see [[Chinese Snack]]; for Beijing context see [[Beijing Food]].
