You should also put in some seasonings such salt, soy source, pepper, sesame oil, and chopped ginger to get your favorite flavor. But be careful that do not put in too much of it, which would make the dumplings disgusting.

They can also be made by hand, but it is more complicated, so I advice you to buy some from the supermarket. Then is the step of folding the dough pieces to make dumplings. You should hold a dough with your left or right hand and put a suitable mount of filling onto the central part of the piece with another hand. And wrap the piece into half-moon shaped and seal the edges. In this way you make the dumpling one by one. Then pour about one liter water in a pot and heat it up. When the water is boiling, put the dumplings in it. And after them float in the water, stop the heating and get out the dumplings with a big spoon after two minutes.In this way, you can enjoy the delicious dumplings. Be careful that you should press the edge of the dumplings firmly, in case the dumplings broke when you cook them.

But the custom of making jiaozi a special dish during the Spring Festival, or the Chinese Lunar New Year, started in the Ming Dynasty, some 500 to 600 years ago. The reason is simple.

As the Spring Festival marks the start of a new year, people choose to eat jiaozi to connote their wishes for good fortune in the new year. Although time has changed, the tradition has remained. But today, jiaozi is considered more as a sign of blessing than of fortune.How to ?In a big bowl, add water to flour gradually. （caution: not too much at a time！） Mix and knead by hand to soft dough, then cover it with towel and put it aside for about an hour.
