Fried Dumplings (Guo-Tie)



Fried dumplings are available at street shops all over Taiwan, usually known as "pot-stickers" in North America. These dumplings usually consist of ground meat or a vegetable filling. They are wrapped in a thin piece of dough, pressed together into a long shape, and pan-fried. The dumplings are usually eaten with a soy sauce or a hot chili sauce. Guo-tie is also usually served with a choice of two soups, a corn type soup and a spicy vegetables soup, which accompany the dumplings well. These are not difficult to find in Hsinchu and there is a great shop located adjacent the food temple.
