The jiaozi is a Chinese
dumpling which consists of meat and minced vegetables
wrapped into a piece of dough. Popular meat fillings
include shrimp, ground lamb, ground pork, ground beef, and
even fish. Jiaozi are usually steamed or boiled. If they
are fried, they are called potstickers. Compared to
wontons, jiaozis have a thicker skin and are longer.
The baozi is another Chinese dumpling, made with a thick
leavened bun, compared to the thin noodle-like skin of
jiaozi.
Zongzi are a traditional Chinese food. Sticky rice is used
to fill a parcel made from dried lotus or bamboo leaves.
The parcels are steamed for several hours to cook the
rice, and when unwrapped they retain their shape. The
dumplings may be eaten plain with syrup, or the rice is
flavoured with meat and vegetables or mashed beans before
cooking.
