In beginning of winter solar terms, what's the difference between eating jiaozi in the south and in the north?

As southerners, they seldom eat jiaozi on weekdays, but like northerners, they also have the custom of eating jiaozi in beginning of winter, but there is a big gap between jiaozi in the south and in the north. There are three main differences between jiaozi packaged by southerners and jiaozi packaged by northerners:

First, dumpling skins are different.

Southerners really don't know how to make dumpling wrappers. Most of them, if they want to pack jiaozi, basically go to the food market to buy dumpling wrappers for a few dollars and pack them at home. Northerners are different. They all roll their own wrapping paper. As a southerner, every time I see northerners rolling dough with that unique skill, I feel particularly fierce. So every time I feel like eating jiaozi, I almost taste it. After all, I didn't roll the dough myself, but I almost felt it!

Second, the stuffing in jiaozi is different.

The dumpling stuffing that southerners like to eat is different from that of northerners. For example, I like to eat dumplings with light taste, such as pork stuffing, horseshoe stuffing and corn stuffing. The stuffing of dumplings that northerners like to eat is different. They may like to eat leek stuffing, onion stuffing, or other tasty stuffing. In short, it is very different from the preferences of southerners, and the jiaozi made by southerners is generally tender but not greasy, so they will choose thinner pork as stuffing; Northerners may choose fatter pork as stuffing.

Third, jiaozi eats differently.

The difference between southerners eating jiaozi and northerners eating jiaozi is also reflected in the specific way of eating. For example, as a southerner, I usually like to dip in Huangpi sauce, which is really a perfect match. But northerners probably don't like it. After all, they don't have the fruit of wampee there, so they may not be very interested in wampee sauce. Many northerners I know like to eat sesame sauce, aged vinegar and so on. They used it as a seasoning to match jiaozi. So if southerners and northerners eat jiaozi together, there are still many differences.
