*Wonton skins can be substituted for siu mai skins. Cut off corners to make a circle.

**Siu mai skins are thinner than wontons and are round instead of square. If you can't find them, you can cut circles out of wonton skins and use them as a substitute. Pleat one side and fold over into a decorative half-moon shape.
