  • Divide the mixture evenly between wonton wrappers. Use a bit of water to wet all 4 sides of wrapper with your fingers, then bring the diagonal corners together, pinching in the center. 

  • Working in batches, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in skillet. Add 6 wontons and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Add ¼ cup chicken stock, cover, and steam for 2 to 3 minutes or until wrappers are translucent.
