Zheng Jiao (蒸餃/蒸饺) Steamed Dumpling

 



 

Zheng jiao (蒸餃/蒸饺) (pinyin with tones: zhēng jiǎo) is a common snack you can see in the food trucks on the street or in diners or restaurants. Zheng jiao shares the same shape and ingredients with shui jiao (水餃, boiled dumpling) and jian jiao (煎餃, fried dumpling), but zheng jiao is cooked in a bamboo steamer or dian guo (電鍋, multi cooker).

The other way to enjoy zheng jiao is to dip it into sauce. The sauce basically has soy sauce, rice vinegar, and some condiments like chopped scallions, minced garlic, shredded ginger, and chili pepper. Sometimes you can make your own sauce you like at the diners.

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.

I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
