A jiaozi and also known as mandu, is a type of dumpling or ravioli typical of Chinese cuisine very popular in China, Japan and Korea, as well as outside Asia. Jiaozi are made filled with minced meat or vegetables rolled into a thin, thin dough, which is usually sealed with the fingers. Jiaozi should not be confused with wontons: jiaozi have a thicker skin, are more elongated, and are more similar to Italian ravioli, they are usually served with a soy-vinegar sauce (or hot sauce); while wontons have a thin skin, they are more like a sphere, and are generally served in a broth.
