Wonton Soup

 

Wonton Soup

Wontons (馄炖 húndùn) are a kind of Chinese dumpling. Different from jiaozi, wontons have less filling and are wrapped in much thinner dough wrappers. The shapes of wontons can be different depending on how they’re made. Some of them look like silver ingots, making them an auspicious ‘wealth-invoking’ dish.

Wonton fillings are most often minced pork or diced shrimp. Wontons are commonly boiled and served in a soup (broth), but sometimes deep-fried.
