Soupe aux wontons

Dumplings:

Between jiaozi, gyoza, dumpling and wonton, I get confused.

In English, dumpling is sometimes used as the generic word grouping jiaozi, wonton and gyoza.

Jiaozi has a thick wrapper and a big variety of fillings. Can be steamed, boiled, pan-fried or baked.

Sometimes boiled jiaozi is translated as dumpling.

Sometimes pan-fried jiaozi is translated as pot stickers.

Gyoza is the japanese adaptation of pan-fried jiaozi.

Wonton is another type of dumpling. It has a thiner wrapper, and filled with pork and/or shrimp.

Wonton soup is usually a small side dish.

Wonton noodle soup is usually a large meal for one person or to share.
