Assemble the wontons: Take one wonton wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper into your desired wonton shape (e.g., triangle, boat, or purse). Ensure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from escaping during cooking. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.

Cook the wontons: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the wontons, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Cook in batches if necessary. Stir gently to prevent them from sticking. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the wontons float to the surface and the filling is cooked through. The wrappers should appear translucent.
