How do you say dumplings in English?

Tangyuan, also called tangtuan, is a round dessert made of glutinous rice flour. "Round" means "reunion" and "perfection", so eating dumplings on the winter solstice is also called "the winter solstice reunion".

An ancient poem said, "Every family beats rice to make glutinous rice balls, knowing that it is the winter solstice of the Ming Dynasty." Every winter solstice, every household in the south will make a winter solstice dumpling, which is not only eaten by their own families, but also given to relatives and friends as a symbol of blessing. Old Shanghainese are most particular about eating jiaozi on the solstice in winter.

The above introduction says that "Dumpling" can refer to any food with "stuffed dough", so when introducing jiaozi to foreigners, we can say "Tangyuan". Of course, dumpling is a traditional food of China people, and it can also be directly expressed by the pinyin.
