Shuijiao are classic Chinese boiled dumplings made with thin wheat flour wrappers filled with ground pork, chicken, or beef, mixed with vegetables like cabbage, chives, or leeks, then boiled until tender and juicy. They originated in Northern China, especially in Henan and Shandong, and are a central part of Lunar New Year traditions, symbolizing wealth due to their resemblance to ancient gold ingots. Often served with soy sauce, vinegar, or chili oil, Shuǐjiǎo are eaten for lunch, dinner, or festive meals, either on their own or in a light broth. Their simplicity and versatility make them one of the most loved dumpling types across China. Common variations include lamb, shrimp, or vegan tofu fillings.
