What does WONTON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small Chinese dumpling made of thin dough around a savoury filling, usually boiled in soup or fried.
A wonton is made by wrapping a small spoonful of seasoned minced pork, shrimp or vegetables in a thin square of dough. In soup it is served floating in broth with noodles or greens, while fried versions are crisp and eaten with a dipping sauce.
