Prepare the wontons: Lay a wonton wrapper flat on a clean surface. Dip your finger in water and moisten all four edges of the wrapper. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Gently push the wrapper down around the filling with a spoon to remove air, then pinch the edges together to seal, forming a bundled shape. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
