Place on a plate, cover and place in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Combine sauce ingredients and mix very well. Prepare garnishes. Have a soup pot filled with chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then lower to a slight boil. Heat the entire batch of sauce. Return to serving container. Cook won tons in boiling chicken stock for approximately 2 minutes or until won tons float to the surface. Cook until skins are soft. With a strainer, remove won tons into soup bowl. Mix; sauce well. Heat the sauce briefly or keep it hot by the steamer. Remember to mix sauce well before you ladle it over the won tons, then ladle 1 ounce of sauce over the won tons.
