During the New Year, the Chinese eat a huge amount of dumplings, which symbolize wealth for the coming year: pieces of dough filled with meat and vegetables resemble small money purses. These wontons, dressed in a thick soy-butter sauce, are instantly gone. The scallop and jalapeño filling makes them especially delicious. The sauce isn't traditional, but the butter mixed with chili flakes and salty soy sauce perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the scallops. Remember: the more dumplings you eat, the richer you will be!

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- To prepare the fillingIn a medium bowl, combine scallops, jalapeños, garlic, green onions, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch.
- To assemble the wontonsPlace a small cup of water to the side. Place a piece of dough in your hand so it forms a diamond shape. Add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center of the dough. Moisten the edges of the dough with water. Fold the dough in half to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly. Moisten the two ends of the triangle with water and fold them together so they touch. Pinch tightly to seal. Place the wonton on a lightly floured baking sheet or plate and gather the remaining wontons.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the wontons in batches until cooked through, 4–5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl or plate.
- To prepare the sauceCombine the butter and chili flakes in a medium saucepan. Melt the butter over medium heat and bring to a boil; continue to cook for about 1 minute. Turn off the heat and add the soy sauce. Drizzle the wontons with the soy-butter sauce, toss to coat evenly, and garnish with finely chopped green onions.
