East Asian Noodles and Dumplings

Gathers the noodle and dumpling dishes of East Asian culinary traditions, including Chinese jiaozi and wonton dumplings, Japanese ramen and udon, and Korean mandu and japchae, each built on wheat or rice noodle doughs and folded or boiled dumpling wrappers distinctive to the region's cuisines. The grouping reflects how the cuisine itself classifies these wheat- or rice-based staples, by shape and cooking method, whether boiled, steamed or fried, rather than by filling or sauce, since the same dough tradition often produces both a plain noodle and a filled dumpling.
