Wontons and dumplings are delectable delicacies that are famous throughout China and Asia.
The difference between a dumpling and a wonton is that a dumpling is made of dough that either contains ingredients or has a filling, but a wonton is a traditional Chinese dumpling that typically has stuffings like meat (chicken wonton) or seafood (shrimp wonton), and veggies.
The main difference between dumplings and wontons are as follows:
Dumplings become increasingly popular during the Chinese New Year.
They are an essential part of each New Year’s celebration as a sign of family happiness.
Although they are popular around the New Year, they can also be eaten as a lunch or dinner at any other time of the year.
Due to a lack of time or the intricacy needed, not everyone, particularly working adults, have time to prepare a range of dim sum.
Nonetheless, you can still enjoy this delicious meal with EB frozen dim sum series without having to worry about cooking time.

Dumplings can be enjoyed in different ways: cooked, steamed, or fried.
Boiled dumplings are a great substitute for noodles and rice. It’s week-round comfort food.
They come out with a burst of flavours if you know how to cook them, making them delectable.
You can also purchase readymade dumplings if you don’t know how to cook them or don’t have the time.
The boiled dumplings are more difficult to cook than steamed ones.
This might be because the dough is easier to roll here. It is, in fact, a light and nutritious type of dumpling.
Many people in China eat them for breakfast, but they can be eaten at any time of day.
Fried dumplings are usually heavier than the steamed and boiled ones.
They’re also good as appetizers and comfort meals.
Although these dumplings are referred to as “fried,” they are cooked in two stages: first, they are fried in oil on one side in a very hot wok, then steamed in the same wok by adding water and covering it.
After steaming for a few minutes, the dumplings have a crispy bottom, soft top, and tender filling.
Wontons are generally deep-fried or served with soup.
They can be shaped into various forms and prepared in several ways, such as steamed, boiled, or fried.
