Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, ensuring the edges meet. Press firmly along the edges to seal the filling inside. Bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together, slightly overlapping them. Dab a tiny bit of water on one of the overlapping corners and press the corners together to seal, forming the traditional wonton shape. Repeat this process with the remaining filling and wrappers.

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the wrapped wontons to the boiling water in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding. Cook the wontons until they float to the surface, which indicates they are done, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the cooked wontons with a slotted spoon and set aside.
