I’m a Chinese food noob.
May 15th, 2007
I’ve always hated calling those fried dumplings “Pot stickers.” I’d always correct people, and tell them to call it, 만두 mandu, 餃子 gyoza, or jiaozi, as I always thought the term “potsticker” to be a dumb English term. What I found out, is that fried dumplings have another name, 鍋貼 guotie. What I also learned is that guotie does indeed mean “potsticker”. So all this time, I’ve been an ignorant hypocrite. Gah, image down.
To anyone I’ve scolded in the past, 對不起。
