Instructions

1. Lightly coat the steaming rack with nonstick
cooking spray. Reserve.
2. Put 1 quart of water into the cooking pot of
the Cuisinart® Multicooker.
3. Put all ingredients except the wonton
wrappers into a large bowl. Gently toss with
hands to fully combine, making sure not to
over-mix or the filling will be too tough.
4. Set up your work station with a small bowl
of water and a pastry brush, large plate or
cutting board, package of wonton wrappers,
and wonton filling. On a clean surface, line
up 3 to 6 wonton wrappers at a time. Place
about ½ tablespoon of filling in the middle
of each wrapper. Brush the edges of the
wrappers with a small amount of water and
fold bottom point up, making a triangle.
Either crimp all edges like a pleat or fold
up the two end points and pinch to seal,
using more water if needed. Continue to fill
the remaining wontons. Keep the prepared
wontons on a clean tray or cutting board
and cover with plastic. Transfer all filled
dumplings to the steaming rack and place
rack in the unit; cover.
5. Set the unit to Steam. Let steam for about
15 minutes.
6. These are delicious served with soy sauce.
