To make each dumpling, place 1 1/2 teaspoonful filling in the center of a wrapper using two spoons. Fold the wonton wrapper in half to form a semi-circle (if using round wrappers) or a triangle (if using square wrappers).

Pour about 2 inches of boiling water into a wok, set the plates in the steamer and set the steamer in the wok.
