Tempeh Pot Stickers

Tempeh Pot Stickers

1 T. cornstarch
1 lb. frozen spinach, thawed
1 T. reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 tsp. chili sauce
2 tsp. peeled and minced fresh gingerroot
1/4 C. finely chopped scallions
1/2 lb. tempeh, crumbled

Sauce:
1/2 C. water
1 tsp. low-sodium worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. chili sauce
1/4 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. grated orange rind,orange part only

32 wonton skins
2 T. canola oil

Lightly dust a large baking sheet with the cornstarch and set aside. Squeeze any excess moisture from the thawed spinach. Combine the soy sauce, chili sauce, and gingerroot in a bowl and mix well. Add the spinach, scallions, and tempeh and again mix well. Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl, mix well, and set aside. Separate the wonton skins. Place 1 T. of the pot-sticker mixture onto each of the wonton skins. To form into pot stickers, bring the 4 corners of the wonton skins into the center, overlapping to cover the filling and form a ball. Place the ball, fold side down, in the soft hollow of your hand between your thumb and index finger. Squeeze your hand gently to form and seal each pot sticker. Place the finished pot stickers on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (The recipe can be assembled to this point several hours in advance and refrigerated until cooking time.) To cook the pot stickers, heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pot stickers and cook until the bottoms are golden brown. Carefully turn each pot sticker over to brown the other side. Pour the sauce over the pot stickers, cover, and steam for 3 minutes. Remove the cover and continue cooking until all the sauce is completely absorbed.
