Wonton (雲吞)
Wonton is derived from the Cantonese term Wahn Tān (雲吞), meaning "Cloud Swallow." This is because when boiled in soup, the wonton dumplings float in the broth like small clouds. In Mandarin, wonton is called Húntún (馄饨). Wontons are believed to date back over 2,000 years to the Han dynasty in China. They were originally filled with meat and shaped differently from modern wontons. While wontons are usually folded into a triangular or "purse" shape, the way they are folded can vary depending on regional preferences. Some shapes resemble small parcels, while others are more like ingot-shaped dumplings. In some Chinese traditions, wontons are seen as symbols of wealth and prosperity as they resemble ancient Chinese money (sycee or ingots).
