In China, potstickers, or jiaozi, are sometimes served as a last course during restaurant meals. As a breakfast dish, jiaozi are prepared at inexpensive, roadside restaurants. Typically, they are served in small steamers containing ten pieces each. Although mainly consumed at breakfast, these small restaurants keep them hot on steamers, and ready to eat all day.
They are also one of the major foods eaten during the Chinese New Year and year round in the northern provinces. But in America, we know them best as appetizers. Today, these savory little dumplings have found their way into even high-end restaurants and are enjoyed by millions around the globe!
