At Delis, the Rosh Hashana Rush

There's innumerable theories about why Jews love Chinese food so much, but my favorite is the kreplach. It's basically a dumpling, filled most often with minced beef, onions, garlic, and spices, and served in either chicken soup, or pan fried. It's an easy leap from that to wonton soup, especially if you're not kosher. These beauties are from Ben's Kosher Delicatessen, in Boca Raton, FL. They've been fried and then smothered in translucent caramelized onions, which is the most delectable way to eat them.
