Amother type of Chinese dumplings is called huntun(or wonton).It is made in a similar way as jiaozi,but the wrapper is thinner and contains less filling,folded in such a way that it leaves a loose falp.
Huntun is always boiled and served about a dozen in a bowl of instant soup seasoned by sesame oil,soya sauce,a pinch of shredded parsley or some other dried vegetable.
Huntun is popular not only in the north but also in many southern parts of China.It was customary in old Beijing for people to eat huntun at the winter solstice.The origin of huntun has remained obscure.A Song Dynasty(960-1279)work suggested:"It is called huntun because it was first make by the Hun and Tun clans of the northern parts outside of the Great Wall".There are,however,others who would not endorse this opinion.
