No, wontons are not dumplings
Wonton is the English transliteration of a Chinese word, which is pronounced "Hundun" in Chinese. It is a food wrapped in a thin dough, usually cooked by boiling or frying. Wonton is mainly popular in southern China.
Becuse the skin of wontons is very thin, it requires a very experienced chef to make them and is difficult for ordinary people to complete. So today's wontons are usually made with factory-prepared thin dough. The dough used for wontons is square, with a side length of about 10CM.
The filling of wontons is relatively simple, usually some kind of meat (pork, beef, shrimp)
Hundun has different names in different parts of China. He is also called Chaoshou and Yuntun and Bianshi. Chinese people think there are subtle differences between them, but as a foreigner, I think they are essentially the same thing.
Dumplings is not a Chinese word, but an English word. It has no exact corresponding vocabulary in Chinese. There is a food called "Chinese dumplings" and its Chinese name is "Jiaozi"
Jiaozi is similar to wontons, but also different. Dumplings are mainly a food from northern China. They use thicker dough and can be made by hand by ordinary people.
Jiaozi wrappers are usually round
The methods of cooking jiaozi mainly include boiling, steaming and frying.
The fillings of Jiaozi are more complicated. The fillings of dumplings are usually a mixture of vegetables and meat. At least I have seen more than 20 kinds of fillings, and people are still creating more types.
If you're on a diet, the better of the two foods for you is ravioli, which contains less flour, which means fewer carbs and fewer calories.

不,馄饨不是饺子
wontons是汉字的英语音译,中文发音是“Hundun”。它是一种用薄面皮包裹的食物,通常用水煮或油炸。馄饨主要流行于中国南方。
由于馄饨的皮非常薄,需要非常有经验的厨师才能制作,对普通人来说很难完成。因此,如今的云吞通常是用工厂预先准备的薄面皮制成的。用于馄饨的面皮是方形的,边长约为10厘米。
馄饨的馅料相对简单,通常是一些肉类(猪肉、牛肉、虾)
在中国的不同地区,馄饨有不同的名称。他也被称为抄手、云吞和扁食。中国人认为它们之间存在细微差别,但作为外国人,我认为它们本质上是相同的东西。
“Dumpling”不是中文单词,而是英文单词。在中文中没有确切对应的词汇。有一种食物叫做“Chinese dumplings”,它的中文名字是“Jiaozi”。
饺子类似于馄饨,但也有所不同。饺子主要是中国北方的食物。它们使用更厚的面皮,普通人可以手工制作。
饺子的皮通常是圆的。
饺子的烹饪方法主要包括水煮、蒸和煎。
饺子的馅料更加复杂。饺子的馅料通常是蔬菜和肉的混合物。至少我见过20多种馅料,人们仍在创造更多类型。
如果你在节食,那么对你来说更好的食物是馄饨,因为它含有更少的面粉,这意味着更少的碳水化合物和更少的卡路里。
