In a medium bowl, combine the shredded hearts of palm, lemon juice, shredded nori, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, and sesame oil. Mix well to combine all the flavors. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Gently dip one rice paper wrapper into the water, making sure it is completely submerged for about 10 seconds, just enough to soften.
Place the softened rice paper on a clean surface. Spoon approximately one tablespoon of the hearts of palm mixture onto the center of the rice paper.
Fold the rice paper in half to enclose the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
In a small bowl, mix 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. This will be used to help seal any loose edges of the rice paper.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of sesame oil over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, carefully add the wontons in batches.
Cook each wonton for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the rice paper turns golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove the cooked wontons and place them on a serving platter. Serve immediately with a side of chili sauce for dipping.
