Returning later to get some dumpling (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wonton

'some dumpling' is the definition.
(wonton is a kind of dumpling)

'returning later' is the wordplay.
'returning' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'later' becomes 'not now' (I've seen this in another clue).
'notnow' back-to-front is 'WONTON'.

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for wonton that I've seen before include "Dumpling" , "Some Chinese food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
