Peking Ravioli, also known as Potstickers (guo tie), when browned on the bottoms or
Dumplings (jiao zi) when boiled. They are based on Joyce Chen's own recipes passed down from generation
to generation. Now available to you without all the work.
A traditional frozen food.
It is a Chinese tradition to avoid using scissors or knives during the New Year Holiday. Chopping during
this time symbolizes cutting away one's luck for the upcoming New Year. Before the Holiday, families
would make Peking Raviolis, store them in earthen pots and put them outside to freeze. They would then be ready
to cook during the New Year celebrations. (This of course could only be done in the colder regions of China). To
learn more, search the Web for Chinese New Year.
Chinese New Year is coming January 26, 2009, it will be the year of the Ox. The Chinese calender is based on
lunar and solar movements and is a different date every year. Find your sign, link to the Chinese New Year page.
Stephen Chen, President Joyce Chen Foods
As a child, my mother would entertain her Chinese and Western friends at our home with wonderful Chinese dishes
she had learned to prepare while growing up in China. In 1958, she opened her first restaurant where for the next 40 years
a wider audience enjoyed her Peking Ravioli.
Since the restaurant closed in 1998, I have heard from countless customers about how they
have missed the taste of Joyce Chen Peking Ravioli. So, by popular demand, I have made them available at your local market
in the frozen food section.
