In jiaozi, cold water and flour are mostly used as agents. Mix noodles with water, knead into coarse dough, cover with wet gauze or towel, let stand for about an hour, cut with a knife or pick into several small doughs by hand, knead into round strips with a diameter of about 3 cm, and cut with a knife or pick into small doughs by hand.

Use a small rolling pin to roll these small flour products into dumpling wrappers with a little thickness in the middle and a little thickness around, wrap the stuffing and knead them into crescent or angular shapes. Boil the cold water first, wrap it, then put it into the pot, and draw an arc counterclockwise or clockwise along the edge of the pot with a colander or spoon to prevent jiaozi from sticking to the pot until jiaozi floats to the surface.
