JiaoZi and BaoZi

These are both types of chinese dumplings. BaoZi are more like stuffed buns and are steamed. JiaoZi are made from thinly rolled dough and sealed by crimping; they can be steamed or cooked in other ways (fried or boiled). JiaoZi are often served with a dip of soy and vinegar or chilli sauce. Both may contain either meat or vegetable fillings.

Note that JiaoZi and BaoZi are different from wontons (a south china dish) which look similar but are served in a soup.
