What is Jiaozi?

Jiaozi is a Chinese-style dumpling, typically consisting of a thinly rolled wheat wrapper, filled with ground meat and/or vegetable filling; fillings vary with the vast regional influencers and ingredients available – from fish and shrimp in the coastal regions to lamb and pork in the landlocked provinces.
