Shuǐjiǎo ( CHINA)



Shuǐjiǎo is Chinese dumplings, served without broth or soup, filled with a variety of ingredients that are only limited by one's imagination. Boiled ravioli is the staple food of northern China. Some of the most popular ingredients for the filling are shrimp, cucumber, purple cabbage, pork, bean sprouts, noodles, and rice.

Shuǐjiǎo is especially popular during Lunar New Year when whole families in northern China prepare them, some family members roll out the dough, some mix the ingredients for the filling, and some close them in crescent-like shapes.

Sometimes, cooks even hide a lucky coin in the filling for one lucky consumer who finds it. Doughs are traditionally served on their own with some sort of dipping sauce on the side to enhance the flavor of the dish.
