What to ask first
Northern Chinese dumpling and noodle allergy questions often start with wheat, egg, soy, sesame, and filling ingredients. A dish that looks simple can still use wheat wrappers, egg noodles, soy-based sauce, sesame oil, shrimp in filling, or peanut in a dipping sauce.
Ask about the wrapper or noodle first, then the filling, sauce, oil, and cooking water or pan.
