The Chinese dumpling, the wonton, serves a use similar to that of dumplings in many other cuisines: It allows leftover or random ingredients, such as vegetable or meat scraps, to be attractively packaged as a side dish or as an addition to soup stock. Many types of wonton are eaten in China, varying widely by region, use, and construction; but the classic Chinese wonton in America is a folded triangle of noodle surrounding a filling of finely ground, lightly seasoned pork, and served in a cup of soup as an appetizer. The broth is generally chicken, while spare amounts of ingredients such as chopped scallions add color and variety. Authenticity, however, varies; and particularly cynical American-Chinese restaurateurs have been known to fill wontons with cream cheese or to abandon them entirely, substituting ravioli.
