No, I'm not allergic. Honestly, I just assume that it's the ingredient that leaves me slightly nauseous when I order it from Chinese restaurants.

I had no idea the surimi had a sweet taste to it. I wanted to forgo it because I think it doesn't sit well with my stomach.

Hello all,

I have finally gotten around to making my own wontons. I thought they only had cream cheese and green onions in them, but there is a distinct sweetness to the ones I have tried so I added confectioners sugar (2 tbsp). Unfortunately, the signature sweet taste still didn't match. Can you all think of what other ingredient(s) could give this taste? Have you all ever made them? Thanks
