Are wan tun puffs, an appetiser on the Chinese restaurants menu, vegetarian?
No. Wan Tun usually has pork or shrimp in them. Even the vegetable Wan Tun are usually cooked in chicken/pork broth, so the answer is no. Your best bet is probably Chinese dumplings. Chinese dumplings are usually larger and have thicker skin (wrap), but they are not very different. There are real pure vegetable Chinese dumplings cooked in vegetable broth (or just water). In a restaurant, you have to ask to confirm, of course. http://chowtimes.com/tag/dumpling/ Wan Tun PUFF can be something else. It is often referred to deep fried Wan Tun skin filled with cream or meat. Often they are deep fried in lard (pork fat). I think the best thing to do is to really ask. Good luck.
