Chicken/Turkey Pot Stickers
adapted from Weight Watchers

1 Tbsp chili sauce
1 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
2 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
1 tsp rice wine vinegar
1 tsp ginger, minced
pinch of cayenne (optional)
1/2 lb ground chicken or turkey, cooked
1/2 cup cabbage, finely shredded (or coleslaw mix)
1 green onion, minced
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 2 tsp water.
1/4 tsp mustard powder
1/8 tsp pepper
20 wonton wraps*
peanut oil
1 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

In a small bowl, mix together chili sauce, cilantro, teriyaki sauce, vinegar, ginger, and cayenne.

In a medium bowl, combine chicken, cabbage, green onion, soy sauce, dissolved cornstarch, mustard and pepper.

Make sure to keep the wonton wraps covered so they do not dry out. Spoon 2 tsp of filling onto the center of a wonton wrap. Moisten edges with water and fold diagonally into a triangle. Make sure the edges are sealed. Repeat with remaining wonton wraps and filling. Cover wontons with plastic wrap or a damp towel after they have been made.

Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet. Place wontons in skillet without touching each other. Fry until golden brown, then turn and fry on the other side until golden brown. Serve, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and sauce on the side.

*Wonton wraps can typically be found in the produce refrigerated section or with the organic foods. I typically get my wonton wraps from a local Asian/international market. The wraps from the Asian market are usually thinner and easier to work with. The wraps found in the grocery store are thicker.
