Ingredients

Directions
- Place a small, dry saute pan over medium heat. Add pine nuts, and toast until golden brown. Turns pine nuts often, making sure to avoid burning them.

- Spoon rounded tablespoons into each wonton skin.

- Place wontons in steamer basket* for 8-10 minutes. Remove carefully and serve while still hot.
- *Don't have a steamer basket? Me neither!
- Here was my solution...
- Place a small saucepan of water on the stove top and bring water to a boil. Place a metal colander or strainer atop the saucepan, and gently place dumplings in the bottom on the colander. Top with lid of a larger saucepan and steam for 8-10 minutes.
