Do you like eating wonton (馄饨)? It is not only popular in China, but also around the world. You can find it in North America, Southeast Asia and Australia. Wonton is like dumplings, only smaller. It is a kind of traditional food from northern China. It is said that during the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu, an ancient tribe in northern China, had conflicts (冲突) with local people on the border (边界) . Hunshi and Tunshi were the two leaders (领导) of the Xiongnu. So people began to call their food “huntun” and wish for the end of the conflicts.
In different parts of China, wonton has different names. In the north, it is called “huntun”. In Guangdong, it is called “yuntun”. People in Sichuan call it “chaoshou”, while in the southeastern province of Fujian, it is called “bianshi”.
People usually eat wonton with soup. Sometimes they also deep fry (油炸) it. You make wonton with a square wrapper. You put some fillings in the wrapper, and push the outside of the wrapper together with your fingers. The most popular fillings are pork and shrimp.
