Why do so many foreigners in China love dumplings?

为什么那么多在中国的外国人都爱吃饺子？

评论翻译

Chinese dumplings can be made to look like Chinese silver ingots (which are not bars, but boat-shaped, oval, and turned up at the two ends). Legend has it that the more dumplings you eat during the New Year celebrations, the more money you can make in the New Year.”

I recommend others to eat dumplings too.

所以，让我们来仔细看看中国新年吃饺子的流行程度。

据《中国亮点》报道。

"饺子 "有1800多年的历史，饺子（饺子jiǎozi /jyaoww-dzrr/）是一种经典的新年吉祥食品，也是中国除夕夜吃的传统菜肴，在中国特别是华北地区广泛流行。

饺子可以做成中国银锭的样子（银锭不是条形，而是船形，椭圆形，两头翻起）。传说过年时吃的饺子越多，过完年就能赚更多的钱。"

我也推荐别人去尝试饺子。

Dumplings are the most important dish in lots of northern provinces, where you Never can claim you have a new year dinner/meal without having dumpling. Just like Turkey for thanksgiving.

饺子是北方很多省份最重要的一道菜，在那里，你永远不能说你的年夜饭里没有饺子。就像感恩节的火鸡一样。

I think it’s because the idea of wrapping meat or vegetables in dumpling skin or other similar skin made of flour or rice was a worldwide popular way of cooking food.

From Chita, Russia to Vietnam, from Japan to Bosnia and Herzegovina, people like dumplings and different variants with local characteristics.

Now let’s see:

The dumpling that Buryat people enjoy, is called Buuz, interestingly, the pronunciation of Buuz is similar to 包子 in Chinese, but its size is somewhere between Chinese Bun and Chinese Dumpling. Usually a Buuz wraps beef as fillings inside. A bit salty but super delicious! Very popular in Mongolia, Buryatia and other oblasts/republic state in Siberia.

我想这是因为用面粉或大米做成的饺子皮或其他类似的皮包肉或蔬菜的想法是一种世界性的流行的食物烹饪方式。

从俄罗斯的赤塔到越南，从日本到波黑，人们都喜欢吃饺子，喜欢吃具有地方特色的饺子的不同变种。

现在让我们来看看：

布里亚特人喜欢吃的饺子叫 "Buuz"，有趣的是，"Buuz "的发音与汉语中的包子相似，但其大小介于中国包子和中国饺子之间。一般来说，Buuz里面都会包上牛肉作为馅料。虽然有点咸，但超级好吃。在蒙古、布里亚特和西伯利亚的其他州/共和国非常流行。

The famous Ukrainian version of dumpling, is called Vareniki. In Russia, it’s called Pelmeni, see also: Pelmeni - Wikipedia. The wrapping or the dumpling skin is usually made of flour while the fillings could be mainstream potato or other food, such as beef. When the cooking is finished, the topping could cream, or cherry jam or onions, or nothing, depending on personal favor.

Vareniki with cherry jam

Similar version in Poland is called Pierogi. It’s not only served in Christmas Eve, but a daily food, if you really like it.

著名的乌克兰版本的饺子，被称为“Vareniki”。在俄罗斯，它被称为“Pelmeni”，请参阅。Pelmeni - 维基百科。它的皮通常由面粉制成，而馅料可以是主流的土豆或其他食物，如牛肉。当烹饪完成后，浇头可以用奶油，或樱桃果酱或洋葱，或什么都没有，这取决于个人的青睐。

类似的版本在波兰被称为皮耶罗吉。它不仅在平安夜提供，而且是每天的食物，如果你真的喜欢的话。

The Vietnamese dumpling is called Banh Bot Loc. Some people say that it should be called Banh Bao, but Banh Bao seems to be a variant of Bun. While Banh Cuon is a variant of Spring Roll. The Vietnamese variant of dumpling contains shrimp or pork or green onion inside, served with sweet chili sauce. What differs the most from other variants, is that the classic wrapper is made of tapioca flour instead of wheat flour. Similar dumplings can be found in Guangxi, Guangdong provinces of China, due to the similarities in food culture.

In Korea, either North or South, the dumpling is called Mandu, with a similar pronunciation to 馒头 (Chinese steamed bread). I feel it weird when eating dumplings which are called mandu, but it’s tasty, who care? Korean dumplings are filled with a mixture of various meats and vegetables. See also: Mandu (Korean Dumplings) But in general, it’s similar to Chinese dumplings.

Now, in China, dumplings are called 饺子, Jiaozi. See also: Jiaozi - Wikipedia. Due to the long list of variants and variety of favors, as well as the long history of Jiaozi since its invention during the era of the Eastern Han (AD 25–220), Wikipedia explains much more in details.

The reason that foreigners in China love dumplings, perhaps, is because the dumplings, no matter which variant, is delicious! Even if they’ve never been to China, any variant of dumplings worth trying!

越南饺子的变体，内有虾、猪肉或葱，配上甜辣酱。与其他变体最大的不同是，经典的皮是用木薯粉而不是小麦粉制成的。由于饮食文化的相似性，在中国的广西、广东两省也能找到类似的食物。

在韩国，不管是北方还是南方，这种饺子都叫“Mandu”，与馒头的发音相似。吃着叫馒头的饺子，我觉得怪怪的，不过好吃就行，谁在乎呢？韩国饺子的馅料是由各种肉类和蔬菜混合而成的。但总的来说，它和中国的饺子差不多。

现在，在中国，饺子被称为饺子Jiaozi。也可参见：饺子--维基百科。由于饺子的变体很多，味道的种类也很多，而且自东汉时代（公元25-220年）发明以来，饺子历史悠久，维基百科的解释更为详细。

在中国，外国人之所以喜欢吃饺子，也许是因为饺子，不管是哪种变种，都很好吃吧! 即使没来过中国，任何变种的饺子都值得一试!

My opinion based on my experiences as a sous chef and those of my friends.

Most of the dumplings in the US and perhaps other countries in local Chinatowns are made by Chinese chefs that emigrated and brought skills in basic culinary rather than a specialty in Dim Sum or dumplings.

The dumplings and Dim Sum in China and Hongkong are made by chefs especially skilled in this craft. There is also a vast variety of types, shapes and fillings. The famous Shanghai XiaoLong bao (bun) is a specialty that is filled with soup(the soup is jelled and placed in the bun with the filling and when steamed melts).

Xian is one of the ancient capitals and during the reign of Dowager Empress Cixi, ordered at least 100 dumplings/dim sum daily and mandated different ones each time. We went to a Xian dumpling restaurant and had hundreds to choose from. Every province has their own specialty and Hong Kong has excellent dim sum chefs and restaurants.

我的观点是基于我和我的朋友们作为一个副厨师的经验。

在美国和其他国家的中国城，大部分的饺子都是由移民的中国厨师制作的，他们带来了基本的烹饪技能，而不是点心或饺子的专业。

中国和香港的饺子和点心都是由特别熟练的厨师制作的。种类、形状和馅料繁多。上海著名的小笼包是一种以汤汁为馅的特色包子（将汤汁凝结后与馅料一起放入包子中，蒸熟后融化）。

西安是古都之一，慈禧太后在位期间，每天至少要吃100个饺子/点心，而且每次都规定吃不同的饺子。我们去西安的一家饺子馆，有上百种饺子可供选择。每个省都有自己的特色，香港也有优秀的点心师傅和餐馆。

They are little parcels of pure pleasure.

When you consume them with family and friends at a nice restaurant, the eating experience is increased exponentially.

Combined with other dim sum, it becomes stratospheric.

Eating, chatting and chilling out for hours on end is very good for the soul.

它们是包裹着纯粹的快乐的小包裹。

当你和家人、朋友一起在好的餐厅里享用它们时，饮食体验会成倍增加。

再加上其他的点心，它就会变成一种享受。

吃饭、聊天、放松，几个小时下来，对心灵是非常有益的。

Chinese food is pretty much all bland and tasteless for western palates. In fact for almost anyone who isn’t Chinese.

Dumplings - depending on the type of course - usually have a little flavour and comes with a dipping sauce to help it taste of something too.

Oh also, there aren’t bones in the meat. That helps.

对于西方人的味觉来说，中餐几乎都是淡而无味的。事实上，对于几乎所有不是中国人的人来说，都是如此。

饺子--根据不同的菜品类型--通常都会有一点味道，并配有蘸酱，帮助它也能尝到一些味道。

哦，还有，馅里没有骨头。这一点非常好。

Chinese food is brilliant. Not bland at all like Mr Islington wrote. Has he tried the spicy Hunan and Sichuan dishes? Blow your head off!!!

dumplings are very filling and are great as they have many different kinds of fillings. I like steamed and fried dumplings.

Dim Sum dumplings from the south are good. You can get dumplings from all over China though.

中国菜很好吃。一点也不像Islington先生写的那样平淡。他试过辣的湘菜和川菜吗？爽爆!!!

饺子是非常充饥的，是伟大的，因为他们有许多不同种类的馅料。我喜欢吃蒸饺和煎饺。

南方的点心饺子也不错。中国各地的饺子都不错。

Because they’re tasty.

Ever since I started making my own dumplings at home shortly after we got married, my husband has been ruined. He has tried (sometimes is made to try) other versions (frozen, restaurant-sold, or home-made by other Chinese) of dumplings and nothing else compares, according to him.

His coworkers, many of whom had not had “real” Chinese dumplings before they tried mine, all want more of my version. One guy even offers to pay me to make him some:-) One of our former neighbors was the same way.

因为好吃。

自从我们结婚后不久，我开始在家自己做饺子，我的丈夫就爱上了。据他说，他尝试过（有时是被逼着尝试）其他版本的饺子（冷冻的，餐馆卖的，或者其他中国人自制的），其他的都比不上。

他的同事们，很多人在尝过我的饺子之前，都没有吃过"真正的"中国饺子，他们都想多吃我的版本。有一个人甚至提出要给我钱让我给他做一些:-) 我们以前的一个邻居也是这样。

Well, thank you for the A2A. I suppose it is for all the same reasons that Chinese in China love dumplings. What’s not to love? :)

谢邀。我想这和中国的中国人喜欢吃饺子是出于同样的原因。怎么会不爱呢？ :)

what is not to love? succulent meat and vegetables wrapped in paper thin flour. Dumplings from any country are tasty.

为什么不爱？多汁的肉和蔬菜用纸一样薄的面粉包裹着。任何国家的饺子都很好吃。
