Aside from the obvious family and friends, food and drink always popped up in the discussion. When I first got to Beijing in 2008, I definitely found myself missing craft beer and certain comfort foods from home. Within a few short years, however, Beijing had numerous micro breweries in addition to a wide array of quality BBQ, pizza, and burger joints to choose from. There was no longer much to miss about home in terms of eating and drinking. When I&#8217;d fly back to the US to visit, though, I found myself immediately missing Chinese food. As we&#8217;ve discussed at length in our &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/real-chinese-food-recap\/\">Real Chinese Food<\/a>&#8221; series, orange chicken and crab rangoons aren&#8217;t exactly the real deal. One dish in particular always had me daydreaming &#8211; <strong>dumplings<\/strong> (\u997a\u5b50 &#8211; ji\u01ceo zi).<\/p>\n<p>After so many years of living in China, dumplings definitely became a comfort food for me, just as they are for so many millions of Chinese people. The lengthy process required to make a large batch of dumplings makes it a family affair every time you cook them. That is, assuming you actually do it from scratch and not from a frozen bag as I admittedly often did. Especially on major holidays like the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/spring-festival\/\">Spring Festival<\/a>, Chinese people will get together to spend hours in the kitchen preparing a massive amount of dumplings to enjoy eating together on New Year&#8217;s Eve. Dumplings represent togetherness, and there&#8217;s no better place to be together than over a few hot plates of them. I&#8217;m such a fan of Chinese dumplings, I even <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/a-love-letter-to-chinese-dumplings\/\">wrote a love letter to them<\/a>. Here&#8217;s all you need to know about dumplings, including a lot of useful vocabulary:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Different Styles<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_11806\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11806\" class=\"wp-image-11806\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2015\/11\/2-DSC_0344.jpg\" alt=\"Mmm.... dumplings.\" width=\"600\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2015\/11\/2-DSC_0344.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2015\/11\/2-DSC_0344-350x235.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11806\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mmm&#8230;. dumplings.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When it comes to dumplings, you can eat them in many different ways. Here are the three major ways that people cook dumplings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>steamed (\u84b8\u7684 \u2013 zh\u0113ng de)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>boiled (\u716e\u7684 \u2013 zh\u01d4 de)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>fried (\u70b8\u7684 \u2013 zh\u00e0 de)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beyond the cooking method, there are also a few different types of dumplings out there. You&#8217;ve probably heard of <strong>wonton soup<\/strong>\u00a0(\u9984\u9968 \u2013 h\u00fan t\u00fan), right? How about the famous <em><strong>xiao long bao<\/strong><\/em> (\u5c0f\u7b3c\u5305 \u2013 xi\u01ceo l\u00f3ng b\u0101o) soupy dumplings from Shanghai? Of course, we can&#8217;t forget the delectable <strong>dim sum<\/strong> (\u70b9\u5fc3 &#8211; di\u01cen x\u012bn) of Cantonese cuisine. However you cook them or prepare them, they&#8217;re absolutely delicious.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Common Fillings<\/h2>\n<p>There are so many options\u00a0when it comes to filling dumplings, the possibilities are endless! Here are some of the most common fillings that you&#8217;ll find in a plate of dumplings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>pork (\u732a\u8089 &#8211; zh\u016b r\u00f2u)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>beef (\u725b\u8089 &#8211; ni\u00fa r\u00f2u)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>lamb (\u7f8a\u8089 &#8211; y\u00e1ng r\u00f2u)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>chicken (\u9e21\u8089 &#8211; j\u012b r\u00f2u)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>shrimp (\u867e &#8211; xi\u0101)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>egg (\u9e21\u86cb &#8211; j\u012b d\u00e0n)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>green onion (\u5927\u8471 &#8211; d\u00e0 c\u014dng)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>cabbage (\u767d\u83dc &#8211; b\u00e1i c\u00e0i)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>mushroom (\u9999\u83c7 &#8211; xi\u0101ng g\u016b)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>leeks (\u97ed\u83dc &#8211; ji\u01d4 c\u00e0i)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>celery (\u82b9\u83dc &#8211; q\u00edn c\u00e0i)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>carrot (\u80e1\u841d\u535c &#8211; h\u00fa lu\u00f3 bo)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>tomato (\u897f\u7ea2\u67ff &#8211; x\u012b h\u00f3ng sh\u00ec)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s typical to have two fillings in the dumplings &#8211; a meat, fish, or egg plus a vegetable. Here are some of the most common combinations you&#8217;ll see in restaurants or the supermarket:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>pork and green onions (\u732a\u8089\u5927\u8471 &#8211; zh\u016b r\u00f2u d\u00e0 c\u014dng)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>leeks and egg (\u97ed\u83dc\u9e21\u86cb &#8211; ji\u01d4 c\u00e0i j\u012b d\u00e0n)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>beef and carrot (\u725b\u8089\u80e1\u841d\u535c &#8211; ni\u00fa r\u00f2u h\u00fa lu\u00f3 bo)<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Condiments<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_8790\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8790\" class=\"wp-image-8790\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2013\/04\/DSC_0348.jpg\" alt=\"Chopstick battle for the last dumpling.\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2013\/04\/DSC_0348.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/chinese\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2013\/04\/DSC_0348-350x234.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-8790\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chopstick battle for the last dumpling.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Just as Americans like to put mayo and mustard on a sandwich or burger, Chinese people usually have a few condiments to dip the dumplings in.
