Place 1 teaspoon of mixture in the center of a won ton wrapper. Wet two edges before folding on the diagonal and press to seal. Place uncooked won tons on a plate. You can cover the plate with plastic wrap if the won tons begin to dry out. Continue until all of the mixture and wrappers are used. Heat oil in a heavy deep skillet and fry the won tons, turning once during cooking. Drain on a paper towel covered plate, then transfer to the serving platter and keep warm while the other won tons are being cooked. Serve with dipping sauces.
