Who created jiaozi?
A legend says jiaozi (Chinese dumplings) began with Zhang Zhongjing, a doctor in the Eastern Han dynasty. One winter, when he returned to his hometown, Zhang noticed that many people had frostbite on their ears. He wrapped meat and herbs in dough to make the shape of little ears, and then sent them to the villagers. These tasty dumplings warmed their bodies and helped them recover from their frostbite.
What does dim sum mean in Chinese?
Dim sum, the Cantonese pronunciation of dian xin (snacks), is a Chinese meal of
small dishes. People usually drink tea with them. In a restaurant, dim sum can mean “to order as one wishes”. Because dim sum is small, diners can order and try many different dishes in one meal.
