Huojiao

Huojiao, a traditional snack in Nantong, is relatively simple to make. Because it is required to use boiling water when making and hot oil when frying, the finished product is similar to that of jiaozi, so it is called fire dumplings. The making method of fire dumplings is basically the same as that of dumplings, except that different water temperatures are used when kneading dough, so two different kinds of dough are formed. Dumplings are cold water dough. Fire dumplings are hot water dough. The ripening methods are also different, the former is boiled and the latter is fried, thus producing different flavors. Fire dumplings are characterized by beautiful dishes, golden color, crispy outside, soft and waxy inside, fresh and tender stuffing, rich in marinade and delicious taste.
