Mr. Dumpling Express, Hamilton, ON

Dumpling of jiaozi (chinese transliteration) or gyoza (japanese transliteration) and also know as “mandoo”(korean transliteration), is a kind of chinese dumpling, widely popular in china, japan and korea, as well as outside of east asia. Dumplings typically consist of a ground meat and / or vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together or by crimping. Dumpling has a thick skin and a flat, oblate, double-saucer like shape (similar in shape to ravioli), and is usually eaten with a soy-vinegar dipping sauce (and / or hot chili sauce).
