Food Trivia Question - What is Peking Ravioli? TRIVIA ANSWER: Peking Ravioli is another name for the Chinese dumplings known as potstickers. Pan-fried on the bottom and steamed on top, the dumplings are called potstickers because they tend to stick to the bottom of the pan. Â
The term Peking Ravioli was coined by well-known chef and restaurateur Joyce Chen coined in the 1950's. Her restaurant was located in a largely Italian neighborhood, and she wanted a name that would help customers understand what the dumplings were like. Today, many Chinese restaurants in Boston still use the term Peking Ravioli instead of potstickers.
