Ingredients

• 1 recipe Asian-Style Beef Sausage (see ingredients and recipe below)
• 1 1/2 cups finely shredded cabbage
• 42 to 44 wonton wrappers (3 1/4 to 3 1/2 inch squares or 3 1/2 inch rounds)
• 1/2 cup water, divided, plus additional for sealing wontons
• DIPPING SAUCES
• Reduced-sodium Soy Sauce, Dumpling or Ponzu Sauce, Sweet Chili Sauce
• ASIAN-STYLE BEEF SAUSAGE
• 1 pound Ground Beef
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon mirin (ride wine)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon five spice powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

1. Prepare sausage. Add cabbage to skillet, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Spoon 2 teaspoons sausage mixture in center of 1 wonton wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with water. Fold wrapper diagonally in half, sealing edges and pressing out air. Repeat with remaining filling and wonton wrappers.
   
   Asian-Style Beef Sausage: Combine 1 pound Ground Beef (93% or leaner), 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon mirin (rice wine), 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon five-spice powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add sausage mixture; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 1/2-inch crumbles, stirring occasionally.
   
   Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
   
   Keep wonton wrappers and filled wontons covered with clean, damp towel to prevent drying out prior to cooking.
   
   
2. Spray large nonstick skillet liberally with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot. Arrange half of pot stickers in single layer in skillet; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly browned, turning occasionally. Carefully add 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook 3 to 6 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F. Remove pot stickers from skillet; keep warm. Wipe out skillet; repeat with cooking spray and remaining pot stickers.
3. Serve with dipping sauces, as desired.
