jiaozi, whose original name was Jiaoer, was first invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a doctor in Nanyang, China, with a history of more than 1,8 years. It is a traditional special food deeply loved by the people of China, also known as dumplings. It is the staple food of the people in northern China and local snacks, and it is also a New Year's food. There is a folk song called "A slight cold, eat jiaozi for the New Year." Jiaozi is often boiled with flour and leather bag stuffing. But after jiaozi spread to Japan, it became another way.

In addition to China people who like to eat jiaozi, there is also a country where people like to eat jiaozi, and that is neighboring Japan. However, there is a big difference between China and China in eating jiaozi. people usually eat dumplings in jiaozi, while Japanese people eat fried dumplings in jiaozi. And jiaozi is a side dish rather than a staple food in Japan.

Japanese people usually like to eat fried food with rice (such as fried pork chops and fried tempura). When they saw fried dumplings, they thought that this was the correct way to eat them in jiaozi, so they handed them down. And this fried dumpling, its status is almost the same as fried pork chops. In jiaozi, which is a staple food, it has become a side dish in Japan.

It seems that the Japanese have a long tradition of eating jiaozi with rice, because in the eyes of the Japanese, rice is the staple food, jiaozi is a dish, and even noodles are a dish. In fact, the Japanese not only eat jiaozi as a dish, they don't even cook it when they eat jiaozi. Because when it was introduced to Japan, the concept that jiaozi equals fried dumplings was deeply rooted in the hearts of island people. During the Edo period, when jiaozi was introduced to Japan, those businessmen ate leftover dumplings at home and fried them into fried dumplings the next day, making jiaozi more delicious.
