As we all know, jiaozi, as a traditional food, plays an important role in our daily life. Because for us in China, we often choose to eat jiaozi on holidays, while for jiaozi, there are many different areas. For the north, they often eat jiaozi during the Spring Festival, while for the south, they often eat glutinous rice balls. Strangely enough, the Japanese also like to eat jiaozi. Of course, many people ask why China's jiaozi spread to Japan, and the Japanese even prefer jiaozi to China.
Japan's first contact with jiaozi was actually during the Manchukuo period, and after World War II, the Japanese were defeated and returned to their hometown. But as a result of the war, they didn't have much food, so they lacked food. They didn't eat pork at first, but in the end, because they were forced to do nothing, they had to break the leftovers of pork and make them into jiaozi to imitate China's practice, but later they found that it was a very delicious food. Therefore, yesterday became a delicacy for the Japanese, and since Manchukuo appeared in jiaozi, most dumpling houses in many parts of Japan are now given the old name of Manchukuo, because they really originated in jiaozi.
In China, fakes have become our staple food, so we don't cook the second staple food or other dishes when we eat jiaozi. But for the Japanese, they often eat jiaozi as a side dish, and jiaozi is an appetizer for him. It is common to see such a set meal in Japanese jiaozi. A jiaozi about seven or eight, plus a dish and a meal. So for the Japanese, jiaozi is their next meal.
