  7. Fold in the left corner over the center, then fold in the right corner on top. Seal with another brush of cornstarch water.
  8. Repeat with remaining filling and wonton wrappers.
  9. Steam the wontons for approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
  10. While the wontons are steaming, stir together the ingredients for the dipping sauce.
  11. Serve warm with dipping sauce.
