Scallop and Corn Pot Stickers

Ingredients

• 0.5 pound scallops 
• 1 oz wonton wrappers frozen thawed
• 3 tablespoons spring onion minced
• 0.3 cup regular corn cooked
• 0.3 cup spicy tofu soft (preferably silken)
• 0.3 teaspoon salt 
• 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves fresh finely chopped
• 6 servings sesame seed 
• 0.3 cup bell pepper red minced

Equipment

• food processor
• bowl
• frying pan
• pot
• plastic wrap

Directions

1. Discard small tough muscle from side of each scallop and in a food processor purée half scallops with salt. With motor running add tofu in a stream and blend until just combined.
2. Transfer scallop mousse to a small bowl. Chop fine remaining scallops and stir into mousse with corn, bell pepper, scallion, and coriander.
3. Put about 1 tablespoon filling in center of 1 wrapper and moisten edge of wrapper. Gather edge of wrapper up and around filling, pleating edge. Gently squeeze middle of pot sticker to form a waist, keeping filling level with top of wrapper. (Pot sticker will resemble a sack filled to top.)
4. Make 17 more pot stickers in same manner and arrange on a tray dusted lightly with cornstarch. Pot stickers may be made up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered with plastic wrap.
5. In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and fry pot-sticker bottoms until golden, about 1 minute.
6. Add water and steam pot stickers, covered, 3 to 4 minutes, or until filling is springy to touch.
7. Remove lid and cook pot stickers until liquid is evaporated and bottoms are recrisped.
8. Serve pot stickers with vinaigrette and garnish with coriander.
