📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Famous internationally, but also a genuine everyday home dish still hand-made in Chinese households. Eaten as a staple in the north and more as a side dish in the south. Wrapping dumplings together as a family is a common sight on holidays and during Lunar New Year.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Traditionally dipped in a mix of vinegar and a little chili oil. Pan-fried versions are prized for their crisp golden bottoms.
