Wonton Noodle

, known as Yuntun Mian in Guangzhou, served with crisp noodles, tender wonton fillings and a fragrant soup, are one of the favorite small dishes of Guangzhou. The soup is boiled with shrimps, dried sole, and fine pork bones. The wonton is made with fresh pork, shelled shrimps and eggs, and cooked in a thin rice dough wrapper. After cooking, the wonton turns semi-transparent, clear and tempting; hence, its nickname of "glassy wonton".
