History of Dumplings

Dumpling or jiaozi (Chinese transliteration) or gyōza (Japanese transliteration) and also know as "mandoo"(Korean transliteration), is a kind of Chinese dumpling, widely popular in China, Japan and Korea, as well as outside of East Asia.

Dumplings typically consist of ground meat and/or vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together or by crimping. Dumpling has a thick skin and a flat, oblate, double-saucer like shape (similar in shape to ravioli), and is usually eaten with a soy-vinegar dipping sauce (and/or hot chili sauce).
