Grab a small baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) or individual ramekins. Quickly dip one wonton wrapper in water, just enough to moisten it, then layer it into the bottom of the dish. Repeat with additional wrappers, overlapping slightly, to cover the entire bottom.

Spread a thin, even layer of the prepared pork mixture over the wonton wrappers. Repeat the layering process: quickly dip wonton wrappers in water, layer them over the pork, then spread another thin layer of pork mixture. Continue this pattern until the dish is full or you run out of ingredients, finishing with a final layer of wet wonton wrappers on top.
