     Jiaozi are eaten all year long and at any time of day—breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

     In comparison, jiaozi fillings are much more diverse than those used for wontons. They could be any kind of meat, as well as many varieties of vegetables to make vegetarian jiaozi. And jiaozi are usually larger than wontons.
