Step 13To assemble the wontons, place a wonton wrapper flat in the palm of your hand, add 1 tablespoon of the mixture. Dip a finger in the water of the bowl in step 2, and paint all 4 edges with the wash. Fold the wonton in half, corner to opposite corner to make a triangle. Seal tightly all around. Make sure there are no air pockets or holes in the wonton. Fold the longer two triangle points together and seal to make the wonton shape.
