  4. Place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a plate lightly oiled with sesame oil.
  5. Repeat with the remainder.
  6. At this point, you can freeze the uncooked wontons, or cook the wontons in boiling water.
Cook:
  1. Bring a pot of water up to a boil.
  2. Add wontons into the water and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until they float and the filling is cooked through.
