If wonton is compared with wonton and dumplings, 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 edge length of about 7 cm; the dumpling skin is a circle with a diameter of about 7 cm.
The wonton skin is thin and transparent after cooking. Because of the difference in thickness, the same amount of wontons and dumplings are boiled in boiling water, and it takes less time to cook the wontons; in the process of boiling the dumplings, you need to add 3 times of cold water, and go through the so-called ‘three sinks 3 floats’ to ensure Cooked.
Wonton is heavy on soup, while dumplings are heavy on dipping sauce.
