Today, I will cook dinner.
That is a Chinese food: 餃子.

We call it "gyoza", but I looked it up using Japanese-English dictionary and found that 餃子 is translated into "gyoza" or"jiaozi".
So I want to know which of the two names is usual.

Do you know 餃子?
Have you ever eaten 餃子?
Do you like 餃子?

I would say 'gyoza' is correct. I've never heard "jiaozi" before (I guess its Chinese, though ...)

We call it "potstickers" here, but some Japanese companies sell them as gyoza, so some Americans know by that name. Japanese gyoza is softer than Chinese counter part, they don't put as much vegetables as Japanese ones.

My Canadian friends and I always call gyoza "dumplings". I love gyoza! I always want to eat it after drinking, hahaha.

Did you make the gyoza by hand or did you buy it in a package?

I want you to have my gyoza!
