Fennel Dumplings

Overview

Fennel is a vegetable that is often used to make stuffings for buns and dumplings. Like its seeds (cumin), it has a special aroma. It is very popular in the north, but rare in the south. Because fennel has the same pronunciation as returning to hometown, many places in the north like to make dumplings stuffed with fennel and meat during the Spring Festival.
