This is one of the food stalls I ate at when we went and revisited Whampoa.

http://www.ladyironchef.com/2008/07/...saga/#more-339

I had the 'wet' Wanton Mee, which all comes in the one bowl covered in broth,
as well as some fried wantons.

Very good food, and quite cheap.

Drinks were a couple of sugar cane juice with lemon.

<rofl> It's "Wonton" dear!

Wanton is an entirely different thing. :-)

" Main Entry: 2wanton
Function: noun
Date: 1509

1 a: one given to self-indulgent flirtation or trifling used especially
in the phrase play the wanton b: a lewd or lascivious person2: a
pampered person or animal : pet ; especially : a spoiled child3: a
frolicsome child or animal."

Quoted from an on line Websters dictionary.

Most commonly used in place of "slut".
Your comment that it was cheap made it even funnier. ;-)

Peter . . . Where would I look for a recipe for this? (I will google,
but if you make this and have one I'd rather trust you!) Also, what do
I need to be able to tell the guy at my Asian market. Is this
specifically Malaysian?

I got this one from Google. I'm going to try this soon.. but cut the
recipe in half (or less). . . Boy I hope this posts legibly . . .
Lynn from Fargo

WANTON MEE
[ Wonton Noodles ]
***** INGREDIENTS :
• ½ lb Chinese 'red' barbequed pork [Char Siu, in Chinese dialect],
sliced
• 8 'coils' [individual portions] wonton noodles [Chinese thin egg
noodles]
• 16 cups chicken stock [you can make your own clear chicken soup or
use a good store bought chicken stock]
• ½ lb Choy Sum [also called Chinese Chard, Chinese Flowering Cabbage
or Bok Choy Sum] [Sawi Manis in Malay], cut into bite-size
[Substitute: bok choy or your favorite leafy greens]
• 2 stalks scallions, finely chopped [optional]
• 4-6 fresh green Serrano chilies, finely sliced [Substitute: 2-3
fresh jalapenos] [optional]
• ½ cup white vinegar [optional]
******
INGREDIENTS for Wontons:
• ½ lb fresh minced [chopped] fairly lean pork
• 40 wonton skins [more or less]
• 1 egg
• 3 cloves garlic, finely mashed or pounded
• ½ inch ginger, finely grated
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1½ tbsp corn flour
• ½ tsp white pepper
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp corn flour combined with 2-3 tbsp water, for sealing wonton
skins [Stir well just before use]

FYI : The spelling for 'Wonton' varies in different parts of the world
- Won Ton, Wan Ton, Wanton, Wan Tan and Wantan. The common spelling in
USA is 'wonton'. Wonton noodles [mee] can be found in the refrigerated
section of most Oriental grocery stores. The 'fresh' noodles are
lightly coated in flour and 'coiled' into individual portions for easy
serving [usually 8 in a package]. Dried wonton noodles may also be
available - which require a longer blanching or cooking time.

******* To Prepare Wontons:
• In a bowl combine minced pork, egg, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce,
soy sauce, corn flour, white pepper and salt
• Put a heaped teaspoonful of pork into the center of a wonton skin,
lightly dab the edges with the corn flour & water 'glue'. Bring the
corners together, give it a twist sealing out as air as possible [Best
made ahead of time and refrigerated]
****** *To Prepare :
• [Optional] finely slice green Serrano chilies, add white vinegar,
set aside in a condiment dish
• In a stockpot, bring chicken stock to a boil, then lower heat to
keep hot
• In a large pot, bring water to a rapid boil, blanch choy sum until
just al dente, strain well, set aside for garnish
• In the same boiling water, using a 'spider sieve' cook wonton
noodles one coil at a time for a min or so, remove from boiling water,
dip into a bowl of fresh water before dipping into the boiling water
again
• Drain well and put into individual serving bowls
• In the same boiling water, carefully drop in a few wontons at a
time, cook for 2 mins or so [test one for doneness]
• Pour hot chicken soup stock over noodles, garnish with a few
wontons, sliced roast pork, blanched choy sum and chopped scallions
• Serve hot immediately, and if preferred, a condiment of sliced
pickled green chilies on the side

Did you look at the photos at the link? If the stores themselves spell
it "wanton", I think that's a legitimate way for it to be spelled, don't
you?

In some parts of the world.

In others, it's Wanton.
