-Add the cornstarch to mixture and stir to blend. The mixture should be stiff.
-Place a scant teaspoonful of the filling in the center of each wonton skin.
-Gather the edges of the skin together around the filling and squeeze to form a "waist". Squeeze the "waist" and the ends shut to enclose the filling. (The finished dumpling should look like a drawstring purse.) Use a drop of water to help seal the wonton. Place the finished dumplings on a tray that has been lightly dusted with cornstarch.
-Heat 3 qts. of water to boiling in a large pot. Add the wontons and cover. Once the water is boiling again, cook for about 4 minutes or until they rise to the surface. Remove with a long-handled strainer and drain. Discard the water.
-Heat remaining ingredients to boiling. Add the cooked wontons and serve.
