The origin of the name "Chaos" we drink.

Wonton (Chinese pinyin: Hun Tú n) is a traditional food, which originated in the north. In Dialect written by Yang Xiong in the Western Han Dynasty, it is mentioned that "the name of the cake is wonton". Wonton is a kind of cake. The difference is that it is filled with stuffing and eaten after being cooked. If cooked in soup, it is called "soup cake".

In ancient times, it was considered to be a sealed steamed stuffed bun, which had no seven tricks, so it was called "chaos". According to China's word formation rules, it was later called "Wonton". Wonton is no different from jiaozi at this time.

Jiaozi has not changed obviously for thousands of years, but wonton has developed in the south and has an independent style. Since the Tang Dynasty, the names of wonton and jiaozi have been formally distinguished.

Compare wonton with jiaozi.

The wonton skin is a square with a side length of about 6 cm, or an isosceles trapezoid with a top side length of about 5 cm and a bottom side length of about 7 cm; Dumpling skin is round, about 7 cm in diameter.

Wonton is thin and transparent after cooking. So the difference in thickness is that the same amount of wonton and jiaozi are scalded with boiling water, and it takes less time to cook wonton; In the process of cooking jiaozi, you need to add cold water three times, and you can only cook it after the so-called' three sinks and three floats'.
