MMMMM------------------------ON THE SIDE-----------------------------
Hoisin sauce

"Six pot stickers filled with fresh ground turkey meat seasoned with
ginger, water chestnuts, red pepper, and green onions. They are fried
and served in a basket with spicy hoisin."

Here's a special recipe from one of the most popular theme restaurant
chains. Pot stickers are a popular Asian dumpling that can be fried,
steamed, or simmered in a broth. Planet Hollywood has customized its
version to make them crunchier than the traditional dish, and it's a
tasty twist that I'm sure you'll love. Since hoisin sauce would be
very difficult to make from scratch, you can use a commercial brand
found in most stores.

In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients except the egg,
wrappers, and oil. Add 1 tb beaten egg. Save the rest of the egg for
later. Preheat oil in a deep fryer or a deep saucepan to 375?F. Use
enough oil to cover the pot stickers--1 to 2" should be enough.

Invert a small bowl or glass with a 3-inch diameter on the center of a
wonton wrapper and cut around it to make a circle. Repeat for the
remaining wrappers.

Spoon 1/2 tb turkey filling into the center of one wrapper. Brush a
little beaten egg around half of the edge of the wrapper and fold the
wrapper over the filling. Gather the wrapper as you seal it so that
it is crinkled around the edge. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Deep-fry the pot stickers, six at a time in the hot oil for 3 to 5
minutes or until they are brown. Drain on a rack or paper towels.
Serve with hoisin sauce for dipping. If you want some crushed red
pepper or cayenne pepper to the sauce.

Tidbits:

If you can't find wonton wrappers, you can also use eggroll wrappers
for this recipe. Eggroll wrappers are much bigger, so you will be
wasting more of the dough when you trim the wrappers to 3" diameter
circles. But in a pinch, this is a quick solution. Pot sticker
wrappers can also be found in some supermarkets, but I've found the
wonton wrappers and eggroll wrappers, when fried, taste more like the
restaurant version.
