Shayang Wonton Wrappers

　　【Wonton Wrappers】

　　In other regions, they may be called wontons, clear soup dumplings, yuntun, or huntun. In Shayang, they are commonly referred to as 包面 (bāomiàn), whether for breakfast or late-night snacks. They are made with extremely thin dough wrappers filled with meat. There are specialty wonton shops, as well as vendors who carry portable stoves and walk through the streets, knocking bamboo tubes to announce their presence—making them very convenient for locals. Depending on the filling, they go by different names, such as pork wontons, beef wontons, or trotter wontons. Traditional Shayang wontons feature thin wrappers and generous fillings. Once cooked and served in a bowl, they emit an inviting aroma that whets the appetite, making them a favorite among people of all ages.
