Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 pound Raw Shrimp Shelled, deveined and chopped

  • 1 tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Plus 2 teaspoons, divided

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 Tablespoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water.
  • On a flat clean surface, assemble your wontons. Start with a wonton wrapper so it sits with one corner facing you (like a diamond).
  • Dip your fingertip into the cornstarch water and coat all four edges of the wonton wrapper.
  • Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of the strip mixture in the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the wrapper in half, away from you, to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly together.

  • Steam the wontons for approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
