  2. Trim won ton skins to round circles; place 1 portion filling (1/30) in center of won ton skin. Taking skin between index finger and thumb, gather edges together to make a waist; use a spoon dipped in water to press down filling so that it is compact and has a smooth top, finish remaining shau mai in this fashion; place each finished shau mai in a steamer about 1/2-inch apart.
