Hoanh Thanh Chien (Fried Wonton Dumplings)
Hoanh Thanh Chien is a popular Vietnamese appetizer, especially in Hoi An. These crispy golden dumplings are made from thin wonton wrappers filled with minced pork or shrimp, deep-fried until light and crunchy.
What makes them special is the topping — a sweet and tangy tomato-based sauce often mixed with sautéed shrimp, onions, and herbs. The contrast between the crisp wonton and the warm savory topping creates a unique flavor and texture experience.
Perfect as a snack or shared dish, Hoanh Thanh Chien offers a fun and flavorful twist on traditional dumplings, showcasing the creativity of Vietnamese street food.
