Found in many Asian countries, Asian ravioli - also known as dumpling and dim sum - are as diverse as they are varied. Jiaozi, gyoza, wonton, momo... Each country has its own recipe and way of making them, whether in China, Japan or Tibet; but they always take the form of little bites or little turnovers to be gobbled up by the dozen.
Popular and affordable, Asian ravioli are prepared in a variety of ways, depending on the ingredients available in their country of origin and the local culinary culture. Nowadays, they're found on restaurant menus the world over, and Paris is no exception!
Also known as Peking dumplings or Chinese dumplings, jiaozi - whose origins date back 1800 years in China - are made from soft wheat flour. Filled with a variety of fillings, usually minced meat or seafood, mushrooms and vegetables, they are then steamed, boiled or fried.
Present in Cantonese, Szechuan and Shanghainese cuisine, wontons are also very popular ravioli. Made with pork, shrimp or bok choy, the famous Chinese cabbage, they are eaten fried and dipped in a more or less spicy sauce, but more usually in a comforting soup.
In Japan, ravioli are called gyoza. Stuffed with pork, cabbage and other ingredients, they can be steamed, fried or pan-fried. In Tibet and Nepal, it's common to find momo in restaurants, either fried or steamed, with meat, cheese or vegetables, to be dipped in a spicy sauce.
Quite simply, the richness of Asian cuisine can be discovered through the diversity of its ravioli. It's up to you to choose the ones that most appeal to you from among these good Parisian addresses where you can enjoy jiaozi, gyoza, wonton and other momo!
