Dear...... ,
My favorite food is Chinese dumpling; its pronunciation is jiao zi in
Chinese. It is a traditional Chinese food and essential during holidays in
Northern China. And it is also popular in other Chinese holidays or festivals,
so it is part of the Chinese culture or tradition.
I like eating dumpling not because I am from Northern China but because it
is really very delicious and stand for reunion. My family usually eat dumpling
when all the members of family come together. Making dumplings with my sisters
is the happiest thing for me.
Chinese dumpling is one of the most important foods in Spring Festival.
Since the Spring Festival marks the first day of a brand new year, the first
meal is rather important. People from north and south have different habits of
the food, so they eat different foods on this special day. In Northern China,
people usually eat dumplings.
Chinese dumpling is a delicious food. You can make a variety of Chinese
dumplings with different fillings. It depends on your taste and how various
ingredients mixed together by you.
Usually if you have Chinese dumpling for dinner, you will not have to cook
anything else except for some big occasions. The dumpling itself is good enough
for dinner. This is one of the advantages of Chinese dumpling over other foods,
though it may take longer time to make them.
Making dumplings is really teamwork. All family members often make
dumplings together. It is also a good time to share their stories with each
other. I started to make dumplings when I was a kid in my family, so most
Chinese like me know how to make dumplings.
Best wishes!
Yours,
