What is "wonton"?
Wonton is a popular Chinese dish that features small, filled dumplings that are typically boiled or fried and served in a soup or as an appetizer. The filling may include ingredients such as ground pork, shrimp, or vegetables such as cabbage or scallions, which are seasoned with a blend of spices such as ginger, garlic, and soy sauce. The dumpling wrapper is made with a mixture of flour, water, and salt, which is then rolled out into thin circles and filled with the mixture. The wontons are then boiled or fried until they are tender and cooked through. Wontons are often served in a clear broth or soup, and may be garnished with green onions, cilantro, or sesame oil.
