Jian Jiao (煎餃/煎饺) Fried Dumpling

 

Jian jiao (煎餃/煎饺) (pinyin with tones: jiān jiǎo), fried dumpling, is part of dumplings family. Sharing the same appearance of shui jiao (水餃, dumpling), jian jiao is cooked in a pan and fried with a little bit oil and some water, so it has a golden and crispy skin which differentiates it from shui jiao. It is easy to find jian jiao in breakfast shops diners, and restaurants, or you can buy frozen dumplings in markets and cook them at home by yourself.

 

Jian Jiao (煎餃) VS. Guo Tie (鍋貼)

Also a member of dumplings family, guo tie (鍋貼, potsticker) has a golden and crispy skin as well. The differences between guo tie and jian jiao are the shape and the cooking method. Jian jiao looks like a gold ingot, just as shui jiao does, and it is cooked before frying. On the other hand, guo tie looks like a long rectangle, and it is fried without cooking first; besides, it uses flour water when frying so the skin is crispier than jian jiao.

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
