Squash Pot Stickers With Lantern Sauce

• Pot Stickers:
• 1 pound butternut squash, peeled and seeded, flesh cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 20 wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• Lantern Sauce:
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 1/4 tbsp water
• 3/4 tsp rice wine vinegar
• 1/8 scant teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 1 garlic clove, smashed
• 1/8 teaspoon Chiu Chow Chili oil
• drop of honey

1. Pot Stickers:
2. 1. Put squash, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until squash is very soft, about 12 minutes; drain. Transfer to a medium bowl; mash with a fork until smooth and stir in scallions and ginger. In a separate bowl, stir together sesame seeds, 1/4 cup water, and remaining 1/2 cup soy sauce.
3. 2. Place 1 scant tablespoon filling in the center of each wonton wrapper; brush edges with water. Bring up corners to make a triangle; press to seal. Place on a baking sheet; freeze until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
4. 3. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add 10 potstickers, and cook, shaking pan frequently, until bottoms are golden brown. Turn pot stickers over; very carefully (hot oil will spatter) pour in 1/2 cup water, and cover. Steam until most liquid is evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish; cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil and pot stickers. Serve with lantern sauce.
5. Lantern sauce:
6. Stir all ingredients together and let stand at least 2 hours.
