Jiaozi (Dumpling) is a Chinese food, widely popular in China, Japan, Korea, as well as outside of East Asia, particularly in the United States. Chinese dumplings may be divided into various types depending on how they are cooked: boiled dumplings, steamed dumplings and dry-fried dumplings.

Jiaozi typically consist of a meat and vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together. Common dumpling meat fillings include pork, mutton, beef, chicken, fish and shrimp which are usually mixed with chopped vegetables. Dumplings are eaten with a soy sauce-based dipping sauce that may include vinegar, garlic, ginger, rice wine and sesame oil.

Dumplings are one of the major foods eaten during the Chinese New Year and year round in north China. Traditionally, families get together to make jiaozi for the festival. Cantonese style Jiaozi is a traditional dish of dim sum. It is wrapped in a translucent rice flour or wheat skin, which are different from jiaozi in other parts of China.
