Zhang’s Wonton

Zhang’s Wonton


     Zhang’s Wonton was created by Zhang Xu 150 years ago. In 1920, Zhang Kun, the second descendant of Zhang’s, improved and reinvented it. The main materials are wheat flour, chicken, thin egg pancakes, peeled prawns, thin starch-noodles, and pickles. The minor materials are oil, pepper, soybean sauce, chicken soup, pork soup and vinegar. In winter, hotbed leeks and scallions are used; while in spring, young leeks and Chinese toon are used. Thus, Zhang’s Wonton is famous for its exquisite craftsmanship and good flavor, in combining both sour and spicy tastes.
