How to fold wontons
Place 1-2 tablespoon of filling in the middle of each wonton wrapper. Moist the outer edges with some water(as shown in the pic) then fold one corner diagonally over the filling, and press the edges together firmly to seal
Now fold the longer outer corners towards the middle so one overlaps the other. Using some water press them firmly to seal.
Repeat this process for other wrappers.
