Fill the Wonton Wrappers
Take a wonton wrapper and place a small spoonful (about 1 tsp) of the crab mixture in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half to form a triangle, and press the edges to seal. You can also fold the two opposite corners toward each other to form a small pouch. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
