When the mixture is cool begin making the dumplings by laying out one wonton, brush the edge with water , put 1 teaspoon of the filling into the middle and fold the edge over on the diagonal to from a packet. Trim the edges to eliminate the square corners. Dust the finished dumplings with a light coati ng of cornstarch to prevent sticking before cooking. Refrigerate until ready to cook.

To cook the finished dumplings, bring water to a boil in a large skillet in which a steamer basket may be nestled. When the water is boiling, insert the basket with the dumplings and steam for 6 minu tes or until fully cooked. The dough will change color and texture when cooked. Serve with sweet mustard dip.
