The original name of dumplings is "Jiao Er", which was first invented by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint in Nanyang, my country. It has a history of more than 1,800 years. It is a traditional specialty food loved by the Chinese people, also known as dumplings. It is a staple food and local snack in northern China, and is also a New Year food. There is a folk saying: "During the great cold and the small cold, eat dumplings to celebrate the New Year." Dumplings are mostly made of dough and stuffed in water. But after dumplings were introduced to Japan, they became something else.

In addition to Chinese people who like to eat dumplings, there is another country in the world where people also like to eat dumplings, and that is neighboring Japan. However, there is a big difference in eating dumplings between China and Japan. The dumplings eaten by the Chinese are generally boiled dumplings, while half of the dumplings eaten by the Japanese are fried dumplings. There is also a story behind the introduction of dumplings to Japan. Chinese dumplings do not have a long history in Japan. They really entered Japan in the 1930s.

At that time, those Japanese who returned to their hometown from Northeast China had no livelihood, and some began to think about the dumplings they had eaten in China, and then started making dumplings like a gourd. Just like the envoys sent to China by the Tang Dynasty to study, what they learned were somewhat different, so the dumpling techniques brought back by the Japanese were also different. When we talk about dumplings, we usually mean "dumplings", while when Japanese people talk about "dumplings", they usually mean "fried dumplings", which is close to "pot stickers".

In the 1980s, many Chinese went to Japan to work hard, and subsequently they brought authentic Chinese dumplings to Japan. From then on, Chinese dumplings appeared in Chinese restaurants in Japan. . Dumplings are basically a staple food in various parts of China, and are mostly boiled. In Japan, dumplings are considered a side dish. And on the Japanese dining table, rice is necessary to eat dumplings.
