Put 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of wonton wrapper.
Brush all the edges of wrapper with water. Fold edges together to form a triangle.
Pinch edges together to form a little package.
Cover wontons with a damp cloth and refrigerate the wontons if they won't be cooked immediately.

In a large pot over medium heat, heat sesame oil. Add garlic, mushrooms, and ginger and cook one minute. Add broth and bring to a boil.
As soon as the broth comes to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Check the broth for seasoning at this point. Drop wontons in gently.
The wontons cook for about 5 minutes, so after 1 or 2 minutes, add the shrimp, snow peas and bok choy. Let cook just until shrimp are pink and vegetables are cooked, about 3-4 minutes. When the wontons are done, they will float to the surface.
Garnish with green onions.
Makes 4-5 generous portions.
