Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the crumbled feta, shredded carrot, garlic powder, egg yolk, basil, and parsley if using.

2. Cover the filling and refrigerate for 30 minutes so it firms up enough to hold its shape.

3. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper.

4. Dampen the edges with a little water, then fold into triangles or squares, pressing out air and sealing the edges firmly.

5. Bring a pan of water to a boil and set a steamer basket over it. Arrange the wontons in a single layer without crowding.

6. Cover and steam for 8 to 10 minutes, until the wrappers look translucent and the filling reaches 165°F (74°C) in the center.

7. Pour the soy sauce into a small bowl for dipping while the wontons steam.

8. Serve the wontons hot with the soy sauce for dipping.
