Jiaozi — Teigtaschen mit Schwein und Schnittlauch
Hand-folded Chinese dumplings with a juicy pork-and-chive filling, boiled or pan-fried into potstickers. The wrapper-pleating is meditative, the dipping sauce sharp with black vinegar — and a freezer full of them is its own reward.

Chinkali — georgische Suppenteigtaschen
Georgia's mountain dumplings: a twist of pleated dough holding spiced minced meat and — the whole point — a mouthful of hot broth that forms as they boil. You eat them by hand, holding the topknot, biting a small window to sip the soup, then devouring the rest. The little dough knot (kუდი) is left on the plate to count how many you've eaten.

Gyoza — japanische Pan-Fried-Teigtaschen
Japan's beloved dumplings: thin wrappers stuffed with juicy pork and finely chopped cabbage, garlic, ginger and nira, then cooked the yaki-gyoza way — fried crisp on the bottom, steamed soft on top, finished with a lacy golden 'wing'. Served with a punchy soy-vinegar-chilli oil dip.

Warenyky — ukrainische gefüllte Teigtaschen
Ukraine's beloved filled dumplings: tender pockets of soft dough folded around a savoury or sweet filling — potato, cheese, sauerkraut, mushrooms or cherries — boiled until pillowy and served slathered in butter and fried onions with a dollop of sour cream. Varenyky are a labour of love and a symbol of Ukrainian home cooking, made by the dozen and pinched shut by hand around the family table.

Xiaolongbao — Shanghaier Suppen-Dumplings
Shanghai's marvel of a dumpling: a delicate pleated wrapper enclosing seasoned pork and a hidden pool of hot, savoury soup that bursts when you bite in. The magic is solidified gelatinous stock folded into the filling, which melts back to liquid as the dumplings steam. Xiaolongbao reward patience and a careful pleat — and the ritual of dipping in black vinegar and ginger, then sipping the soup, is one of the great pleasures of the table.

Piroggen — polnische gefüllte Teigtaschen
Poland's national dumpling: tender pockets of soft dough wrapped around a savoury or sweet filling — the classic 'ruskie' of potato and twaróg cheese, or sauerkraut-and-mushroom, or sweet fruit — boiled until pillowy and then often pan-fried in butter with onions. Pierogi are made by the dozen for family gatherings, Christmas Eve (Wigilia) and Sunday dinners, pinched shut by hand around the kitchen table — humble, hearty and deeply comforting.
