They are commonly served with vinegar and whole garlic, instead of chili paste. The mother of my friend made divinely delicious jiaozi which I ate non-stop while I was in Hebei (northern China) had a sort of thin, grassy like herb mixed unto the pork meat which I can't remember the name. Another extraordinary jiaozi fix that I had was around the Muslim area of Xian (Central China), where they mutton and lamb fillings. I've also tried the jiaozi in Taipei and Hongkong, but there seems to be something more extraordinary with the dumplings in China. Lastly, in Xiamen, jiaozi with taro root filling! Sweet dumplings finally - which I had in a monastery.
