Jiangnan Jade Leaf Wonton

Overview

Wontons are a traditional Chinese delicacy. Before the rise of modern commerce, it was usually the salesmen who carried wontons to various places to buy them. Older people must still have an impression of this. In ancient times, wontons also had another name, soup cakes. It turns out that the name was chosen to show that it is different from dumplings. The filling is not as much as that of dumplings, and the skin is not as thick as dumplings. Fang Hui's poem from the Song Dynasty goes: Fighting is like a jobber leaving a stutter, duck wontons outside the city of Xiuzhou. In the Jiangnan area, eating wontons has a long history. As the seasons change, all kinds of seasonal vegetables and meats can be stuffed. Spring: Jiangnan shrimps, saury, spring bamboo shoots, spring leeks...Summer: winter melon, long beans, various fungi...Autumn: celery, green beans, coriander, Chinese cabbage, carrots...Winter: shepherd's purse, spinach, green vegetables...Taking the essence of nature, it is rich in nutrients and popular among all ages. During the New Year and festivals in the Jiangnan area, wonton is a delicacy that is indispensable.
