Description
Chao shou (抄手, literally crossed arms) are the Sichuan name for wontons — thin-skinned pork parcels served in a bowl of chilli oil and sauce rather than in a broth. The name refers to the folding method: the wrapper placed flat, the filling placed in the center, the sides folded and crossed over like crossing your arms. Chao shou are a fixture of Chengdu morning street food culture and one of the most accessible expressions of the mala flavour profile.
