2. Mix mince, water chestnuts, sauce and chopped coriander into mushroom mixture, using your hands to combine.
3. Place wonton wrappers on a clean surface and cover with a damp towel to prevent drying.
4. Place a heaped teaspoon of filling in the middle of each wrapper. rush the edges of the wrapper with a little water. Fold in from the corners. Pinch to seal.
