As a kid, I only liked eating wonton skin, not the minced meat so I would've absolutely LOVED this back then. I've grown to appreciate the meat filling now, but I will still happily eat these bubble wontons today though.
I will always eat the meat and then the rest of the wonton skin, until this day. I can't leave the meat behind though, as my parents will get mad for being picky.
To everyone saying it doesn’t have enough meat: He explained it in the video. If you want more meat eat somwehere else. You’re so used to eating wontons with more meat in it, and that’s fine. I am from there and what he’s saying is correct. In that place it’s mostly water and people’s diets were leaning towards the vegetarian side, but of course there are other shops with more meat in it, I guess this is the more traditional way. Do stop complaining when you haven’t even ate the dish. The whole entire purpose of less meat is so it floats and you can feel the pop sensation, wonton skin is thin, and the dish is good. You don’t need a lot of meat for whatever your eating to be good. This is just a specific type of wonton, regular Chinese wontons have way more meat than this.
It's likely more along the lines of "It was poor people's food so we had to make the meat stretch as far as we could." but because it has become popular the excuse quickly changes to "We're more refined here" Kind of like how Lobster and oysters were considered a poor man's food not even 100 years ago and here in the US there are even letters from prisoners in Alcatraz complaining about getting fed lobster more than twice a week and how it was cruel and unusual punishment.... Yet now? Lobster and oysters is the food of the rich!
In my country Malaysia, our wonton have a lot more meat. This one needs a magnifying glass to find the meat. Our wonton comes with noodles in the first place so we don't rely on the wonton as a noodle replacement.
@@ronniechew6566 lol your wonton is just a regular Chinese wonton. I like Malaysian or Malaysian Chinese food but there is no special wonton in Malaysia. This wonton in the video is called bubble wonton. It's not a normal wonton, in fact most Chinese (including myself) don't even know that it exists until this video.
I got it.. It's like how Italian enjoy their pasta, and Indian enjoy their roti.... It's not the meat that is matter here. It's the taste, texture and fulfillment feelings of it.
You’re paying for the skin essentially. But all that broth and noodles for 84 cents is a steal!! I know places that sell smaller bowls of soup for 4 bucks or more
I agree! The way he explained it tho was so rude! "We are refined, unlike those northerns who eat chunks of meat" Why put someone else down to explain the reason for how u make the product?
When you said dot I thought you were being sarcastic. But honestly I wouldn't be mad cause it's kinda like pasta the flavor is in the soup and it's really cheap
We use to have a lady that had a stall under our apartment make “little wontons” literally a dot of meat and she’d just scrunch the wrapper up with her fist. Dang they were good.
My mom told me that her family used to make this kind of wonton during her childhood because meat was quite expensive back then. That's why to this day, my family still makes wontons with less meat than most people would expect since it really is different when you eat wontons to enjoy the skin and wonton soup rather than the meat.
well... This is kinda like "leaf wonton", which is "wonton" skin only. The meat itself only to help the noodles hold the "wonton" shapes instead of square noodles shapes. xD It look funny tho.
Its like eating the wrapper only floating from hot broth. If its cheap then its reasonable since i came from poor where im used to eating rice with soup only. If its expensive, i'll pass
I'm from the region and I've been to this stall a couple of times. The whole point is to enjoy the wrappers, so its basically like noodle. If you want more filling just order the regular wonton, it's literally the next thing on the menu.
i feel like i could use a bowl like this right now ... it looks like it would make me feel nourished without feeling bloated like with other kinds of fattier dumplings.
It's basically a soup with noodles from what I see, still if that thing sells that much then the taste of the soup is probably awesome. I'm so hungry right now lmao.
I've always just loved the skin of the wonton, never really the meat. Half of the time when you bite into one it is just a lava mouthful of burning hot meat. The skin of the wonton deserves to be the star more often, it's like how you eat noodle soup for the noodles [Edit] It's also like how in pizza, it's not the sauce or the cheese that makes it complete. It's the dough that counts. If the dough doesn't have enough attention, then the pizza isn't complete
this video honestly brought tears to my eyes. every year my family would travel to china to see family members and enjoy the scenery of our beautiful villages but this year we didn't get the chance to. i hope corona goes away soon so i can have my nice bowl of wonton soup :)
Yeah there's not much meat but... did you see they said it was 85 cents for 20 wontons???? Crazy cheap for a quick meal. And I'm one of those people who didn't like wonton fillings much but loved the broth and wrapper. This is right up my alley. Going to try to make this.
The wonton skin is the best part of wonton. I love it in some noodle dish they fry the skin to a crisp. That thing will soak up all the flavours in the soup and oil and it’s heaven.
The first time I had wonton was I got sick in high school and I wanted to have soup but with no rice. My mom bought me wonton noodles. So wonton with noodles, you get the idea. I thought God has touched my soul and healed me. Anyways, I always have wonton whenever I got sick since then. It feels so refreshing.
Having worked in a chinese restaurant before, I said the same thing about the fried wontons. Wheres the meat?!? So tiny compared to a proper wonton. For fried wonton, its explained that the meat is small because when frying, the skin would burn before a large chunk of meat cooked through. This reminds me of that, except they decided to boil it with even less meat! I dont think it started with refinement or any of that marketing stuff. It's just good ol' humble food. Grains are cheaper than pork, hence the tradition to stretch the meat. Think of it as a noodle soup with 20 small dabs of meat for additional flavor and texture. Nothing wrong with that, and the floating makes it interesting to look at. I'd try these if given the chance, but I doubt itd win me over from traditional dimsum. Thanks for sharing Goldthread✌, I never new this existed. 👍

Child: “Hey Dad! You forgot the steak for the steak frites!” Dad: puts on monocle and says “Oh my young child. You don’t understand. My cuisine is delicate and refined.”
i love the way he explained how why there isn't more meat and i also loved how when he was explaining it, a pretty girl came in and as soon as she looked at the camera, she turned the other way and went away
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm not mistaken the bubble wonton mentioned here is 馄饨 (which seems to be a small dash of meat wrapped in thin flour skin, and the selling point is to enjoy the texture of the skin and the soup) while the typical wonton (the one with a lot of meat wrapped in a thicker flour skin) is 云吞. Then again, the difference in term could be due to regional differences.
I think it's a regional thing. My Chinese family calls wontons 馄饨 even when they have a ton of meat. I didn't know they were called 云吞 until I went to uni lol.
Lmao to the ppl complaining about the lack of meat: the point of the wonton is that is has air in it and is empty which is what makes it unique in comparison to the normal wonton which has more filling like a typical dumpling.
does anyone remember putting it in your mouth assuming its not hot, then when it pops, your tongue would be burned by the heat but swallowed it whole anyway?
In some parts of China wontons are a soup . For example, the verb used to have wontons is literally 喝馄饨 or drink wontons. In other parts people eat wontons as filling as dumplings and consider it a staple food. Let people eat food how they want.
In PH we have those, and it has a lot of native name. For example in my province it's called as Pancit Molo same texture same looks but sometimes too much boiling the wrapper with meat does makes it drained and flatten. That's why it's okay that your wrapper drained when served.
From the title, I thought uploader was being pretentious by calling soup wonton as bubble wonton but it actually is a bubble wonton. Never heard of it and now I'm intrigued :0
I made wontons once.. because of a novel I read where a shizun would make it for his student whenever he was sick or down. The whole story became kinda sad after that and the wontons became more than just food... I just HAD to make them. It's delicious btw.. perfect for a light meal...
I figured it out, people just think this is a meal, they ought to think of it of say a bowl of soup. the wonton is a sort of illusion acting as fillness. I mean come on people, for that price what do you expect. If you're unhappy, make your own. He explained it's that easy.
I don’t get why people are complaining? It’s like noodles soup. You get most of the meat flavor from the broth itself. Not everything has to be heavy with meat
@@SamP0rterBridges he gotta pay rent or lease the shop from the government coz you can't own property in China. Overall, people tend to make more money working the factories that selling meal sized food that is under $1
dang i've never even heard of this before even tho I live in hk which is south-east china. I wanna eat it so bad. Ugh Chinese cuisine. When I was a kid I preferred western and Japanese cuisine more. But now a teen and growing older, asian cuisines esp Chinese are just so good, better than I could've imagined. i love food..
I actually like the less meat ratio, I don’t really like hiw much meat is in wontons tbh. I always prefer the skin and I normally eat the meat first then the skin second to save the best for last lolol
In commercial sense, selling wonton is very clever. High usage of noodle sheets and repeated usage of several kind of meats...It means owners have feasible room to hand-made noodle sheets...and hand-made is critical to differential from other commercial wrapping competitors...
Listen people who keep complains about the meat, it’s their culture, their tradition they can eat what they want out as much meat in they want so shut up. It doesn’t matter if it’s a dot of meat, the star of the dish is the wonton skin why would the meat be important
I have seen a lot of comments mocking at “the dot of meat” but really wonton is about skin and soup, too much meat it actually will ruin the texture. I am a meat eater but when eating wonton, I prefer those with only a dab of meat, tastes so much better.
Don’t get me wrong these look amazingly delicious.. but the only thing is the reason why they float to the top is because they barely put anything in the middle of it to weigh them down ..
I guess they didn't do much research on this, wonton is not name swallowing cloud because of it look like cloud in the soup, many wonton is in yuan bao 元寶 Shape. originally wonton and dumpling were the same thing, over time because the way to make the 2 were so different, they called one jiaozi and one wonton, it was because the sound wonton (won means mix of food material, ton means ball of food with filling) sounds like cloud swallow in Cantonese, they started use that term instead. correct wonton writing is only written as 雲吞 in Cantonese region, the rest of the region it's written as 餛飩
damn what I miss most about China is just how amazingly cheap it was to get a good meal. I almost want to go back even if I don't go to where the rest of my family lives
Idk with all the complains in the comment section, people won't buy it if they don't love it and there's lots of people buying the food, so I guess that tells how good the food is
This reminds me of the argument I always see at holidays: Do we make big wontons or small wontons. This is some guy saying "You know what, you want small wontons, I'll make you your (spite) SMALL wontons" And then making money from it.
This looks perfect when you're sick and want something nice and warm

The salt pork is to imbue flavor alone, like a seasoning. Similar to how the mince pork in mapo tofu is just for the fat and the flavor.
the skin of a wonton is my favorite part so I would absolutely love this
记得很小的时候晚上在平门有时候有个小推车会卖这个泡泡馄饨，那时候拿个小搪瓷锅带着一块钱就去买一碗，放些榨菜海米。苏州人讲起来，鲜得勒……
reno zhang 评论区都在吐槽泡泡馄炖肉太少不这也是一种特色，虽然我闽南福建人不同意视频里说的只有北方人大快朵颐吃肉。苏州的朋友可以来福建福州试试这里的肉燕馄炖全是肉皮的，肉包肉的美味。
Worker:How much meat should I put sir/ma’am?
Owner:yes
More like:no
I have seen a lot of comments mocking at “the dot of meat” but really wonton is about skin and soup, too much meat it actually will ruin the texture. I am a meat eater but when eating wonton, I prefer those with only a dab of meat, tastes so much better.
Asian cuisine is so smart and creative. Easily my favorite foods are always from Asian countries.
If you like the texture of wonton skins, this would be pretty damn good. Kinda wish I could try them one day. :)
There really is just one piece of minced pork in the wontons.
I love wonton skin, and this looks amazing. I cant eat pork tho, guess i'll try recreate it without pork sometimes in the future
I didnt think it was that small amount of meat Lol
That's what she said.
I was shooked when I saw the dot of meat xD But it’s not a problem since I like the wonton skin more than the filling
We called it a molo soup and it's cecill's main dish back in the 90's until the end(recent times)
Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹
Y'all such an inspiration 🥰
Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
These version of wontons are like the chips packet.
Wonton is like a soup noodle so it’s supposed to have a little bit of meat
Don’t get me wrong these look amazingly delicious.. but the only thing is the reason why they float to the top is because they barely put anything in the middle of it to weigh them down ..
Essentially you are eating just a fluffy wonton with a really tiny bit of pork... Which is amazing for a light meal
I guess they didn't do much research on this, wonton is not name swallowing cloud because of it look like cloud in the soup, many wonton is in yuan bao 元寶 Shape. originally wonton and dumpling were the same thing, over time because the way to make the 2 were so different, they called one jiaozi and one wonton, it was because the sound wonton (won means mix of food material, ton means ball of food with filling) sounds like cloud swallow in Cantonese, they started use that term instead. correct wonton writing is only written as 雲吞 in Cantonese region, the rest of the region it's written as 餛飩
It looks like a dish originated by the scarcity of food in ancient times, in my country there are many like this
They look amazing!
It’s not just in Suzhou, it’s everywhere in the Yangzte delta.
Man seeing this makes me drool.
damn what I miss most about China is just how amazingly cheap it was to get a good meal. I almost want to go back even if I don't go to where the rest of my family lives
Bubble wonton, food bucketlist
THAT LOOKS SO GOOD BRO
Idk with all the complains in the comment section, people won't buy it if they don't love it and there's lots of people buying the food, so I guess that tells how good the food is
In the U.K. it’s -3 I’m freezing I could just eat that now
Wonton noodle is literally my life and when i saw that my mind evaporated.
Thats is i am going there
As a Chinese kid, I love it 🥰
I NEED AT LEAST SOME
pastry can make air as a texture as well
i would have no problem with this. i like the wanton wrapper
Me: bites them in my mouth
My mouth: Pompeii is coming
This reminds me of the argument I always see at holidays: Do we make big wontons or small wontons.
This is some guy saying "You know what, you want small wontons, I'll make you your (spite) SMALL wontons"
And then making money from it.
lmfao at the girl who heard him talking and left
Snack not meal. Looks gorgeous though
Y'all keep complaining why there's so little meat in a 85 cents dish but never complain when there's also very little meat in an expensive pasta. Smh.
