1 饺子 Jiaozi

 

Jiaozi filled with ground pork or beef, cabbage, bamboo shoots, and scallions are a popular dish at Chinese restaurants and Lunar New Year celebrations. Serve them as an appetizer¹, with an easy tangy dipping sauce made from soy sauce and rice vinegar.

饺子的馅儿通常包含猪肉糜或牛肉、白菜、竹笋和葱花，在中国餐馆和春节庆祝活动中是很受欢迎的一道菜。可以把它们作为开胃菜，配上由酱油和米醋制成的味道浓烈的蘸酱一起吃。

2 虾饺 Har Gow

 

Har Gow—plump, juicy shrimp² packed into translucent³ purses made from a combination of wheat and tapioca starch⁴—are a particular dim sum. Pork fatback mixed into the shrimp provides plenty of moisture, melting as the dumplings steam.

虾饺是一种特别的点心，饺子皮由小麦和木薯淀粉混合制成，里面包着饱满多汁的虾仁。混入虾中的肥肉随着饺子的蒸煮而融化，溢出鲜美的肉汁。

 

tapioca starch：木薯淀粉

dim sum：中式点心

 

3 四川抄手 Chaoshou

 

Chaoshou omits the broth⁵ and instead serves the dumplings coated in a fiery⁶ aromatic⁷ sauce. Make it with garlic, vinegar, and a homemade oil infused with roasted chilies⁸ and Sichuan peppercorns for their signature mouth-numbing heat.

抄手省去了汤汁，而是在饺子上涂上一层辛香的酱汁。酱汁里可以放入蒜末、醋和自制辣椒花椒油，以此打造招牌的麻辣口感。

 

aromatic：芳香的

peppercorn：花椒
