In a medium bowl, combine the ground pork sausage, chopped green onions, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well until evenly combined.
Prepare a small bowl of water for sealing the wonton wrappers.
Place one wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the sausage filling to the center of the wrapper.
Dip your fingertip into the water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper.
Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. If desired, bring the two bottom corners of the triangle together to create the classic wonton shape, sealing with a little more water.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a gentle simmer. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Place the wontons into the steamer basket, leaving a bit of space between each one to prevent sticking.
Steam the wontons for 10-12 minutes or until the sausage filling is fully cooked and the wrappers are tender.
Carefully remove the wontons from the steamer and transfer them to a serving plate.
Serve immediately with your dipping sauce of choice.
