“Three delicacies” (三鲜, san xian) or “three fresh” is a common descriptor for a variety of jiaozi or wontons in northern China. The three ingredients may vary, but a mixture of minced pork or shrimp with garlic chives and shredded shiitake mushrooms is generally implied . The mix often contains pork AND shrimp, but isnever called “four ingredients”) because four is an unlucky number.
