China
Wonton Soup
Delicate dumplings in clear broth
Wonton roughly means “swallowed cloud” – an image for the delicate dumplings floating in clear broth. They come from northern China and were refined into fine soup artistry in Canton.
The filling of minced pork and prawns, the silky wrapper and an aromatic broth make a light, warming dish – comfort in a bowl.
