Boiled wontons served in sauce are very popular Chinese appetizers, and wonton soup just as popular. There are variations in different regions in China. I made them in Sichuan style.
From my kitchen to yours, Happy Holidays everybody! Enjoy cooking!

2. To make wontons, place a wrapper in your hand with one corner pointing toward you. Place 1 teaspoon filling on the wrapper, and then fold towards you to make a triangle. Dab water on the left corner, push the middle inward, and then bring the right corner onto the left corner. Seal it tightly.
3. In a pot, put 10 wontons in boiling water, and stir gently. Cook for 5 minutes.
