Cooking Up Some Delicious "Yuan Bao" Wonton / 美味的元宝馄饨

---

Last night, @ezzy was still suffered from his cold that started a couple of days ago. Hence I decided to make him some delicious Chinese Wonton to cheer him up as he loves it so much!

Wonton is essentially a small dumpling with a balled-up meat filling. You can eat it either boiled in soup or deep fried. For the filling, I use pork mince meat mixed in with some chopped veggies. A mixture of pork and prawn filling is also a very popular choice! I did not have time to make my own pastry wraps so instead bought a packet from a from nearby Asian grocery store.

The process of creating this wonton delicacy is a lot of fun as you can fold the dumpling into so many different shapes. My favourite being yuan bao, which resembles the ancient Chinese coin. A symbol of good luck, of course, haha!

@ezzy prefers deep-fried wonton with some light soy sauce while I usually opt for the wonton soup together with some vegetables. Both were seriously tasty and bursting with flavour! I would recommend everyone to try it at home as wonton is so easy to make but the rewarding end result is unbelievable!

Good Luck and enjoy!*

前几天@ezzy感冒了还没有完全恢复，昨晚我决定在家里做他爱吃的美味馄饨，看看他的食欲会不会好些。

馄饨其实就是带有肉馅的小饺子，可以做汤也可以油炸。我用猪肉碎和切好的蔬菜做馅儿，不过猪肉和虾混合的肉馅也非常受欢迎。由于下班回来晚了，我就在附近的中国超市买了馄饨皮。如果你有时间的话，这个也是可以在家里做的。

馄饨的制作过程也很有意思，因为你可以将饺子折叠成许多不同的形状。我最喜欢的是像中国古钱币“元宝”的形状。这可是好运的象征哦，哈哈！

@ezzy喜欢油炸馄饨，蘸着酱油吃。我呢，还是喜欢蔬菜馄饨汤，热乎乎的，味道超棒！我很建议大家有空在家里试试做哦，呵呵。
