This a popular Chinese-Vietnamese dumpling noodle soup. Wontons (hoàng thánh) and sủi cảo are similar but different in texture. Although I know there are different methods and ingredients for each one, the majority of restaurants I’ve ate at is pretty much the same filling with the difference being the shape, and fungus mushrooms. The mushrooms being in the Sủi cảo. I personally like sủi cảo better just because it has more of a bouncy, crunch bite to it. The broth is pretty basic with 2 main ingredients that is a must when it comes to this style of noodle soup: salted pickled radish, and dried shrimp/scallops.
