The fortune cookie, like chop suey, is a U.S. invention that is often
thought to be from another country. Fortune cookies
actually come from Los Angeles, where Canton-native David Jung, a baker and
restauranteur, began making cookies with thin
slips of paper inside sometime around 1920. Jung founded the Hong Kong
Noodle Company, which was producing more than
3,000 cookies an hour in the 1920s.
