Neat family tradition
My ancestors were originally from the north of China, but migrated to the south. So I grew up on won tons (dumplings cooked in soup), but we never made them on New Year's Eve. In northern China they have jiaozi, which taste similar, but they are usually steamed and eaten with a vinegar dipping sauce and raw garlic - you munch on whole cloves of garlic! You can also pan fry them so they are a bit crunchy and golden, which is the way I like them. Yum!
