This is one of the most famous snacks in my hometown and a favorite of the locals. It can be used as breakfast or as a midnight snack, with thin skin and fresh meat, and its fragrance is alluring. It is similar to small wontons from other places, but the skin is thinner and the meat is less, because the cooking time is shorter and it will be cooked quickly. In the past, the soup base used more lard to make it more fragrant. Later, fewer people ate lard, and now more use sesame oil.

Tips:

1. Minced meat should be chopped, so that the cooked meat filling is fresh and tender, and the meat that is not chopped will become wood.
2. Because the dough is very thin and the cooking time is short, the meat filling should be less, and the dough should not be kneaded too thick when it is wrapped, so that it will not be easy to cook.
3. Don't cook the clear soup for too long, just let it float up and cook for another minute or two. If it takes a long time to cook, it will be bad.
