Today I'll show you how to make Chinese dumplings, jiao zi.

今天我来教大家包饺子。

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).

中国的饺子可以做成像元宝的样子（不是条状，而是船形的，椭圆形的，两端朝上）。

Later, after Chinese dumpling varieties were introduced to more countries, English speakers began calling them dumplings.

后来，随着中国饺子品种传入更多国家，英语国家开始称其为饺子。

The relationship between Chinese dumplings and those in other areas is tricky to trace, but food historians have made their best guesses based on available clues.

中国饺子与其他地区的饺子之间的关系很难追溯，但食品历史学家根据现有线索做出了最好的猜测。

JONATHAN MOY: Our dumpling is kind of like a hybrid between a Chinese dumpling, kind of a thicker skin, more hearty dumpling, and a Japanese gyoza, so it's pan fried on both sides and then kind of steamed to finish the cooking process.

JONATHAN MOY：我们的饺子有点像中国饺子和日本饺子的混合体，中国饺子皮更厚， 饺子更丰盛， 所以它是双面煎的， 然后蒸熟完成烹饪过程。
