Plum and Almond Potstickers

• 6 ripe medium red plums, 3 finely chopped and 3 quartered
• 1/2 cup Japanese plum wine
• 2 tablespoons almond paste
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 large egg, separated
• 12 egg roll wrappers
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
• 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon, preferably Vietnamese
• 4 fresh cilantro sprigs (optional)

1. In a small nonreactive saucepan, bring the chopped plums and wine to a simmer over moderate heat.
2. Cover and simmer until the plums are soft, about 5 minutes.
3. Transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth; strain.
4. In a bowl, combine the almond paste with 2 tablespoons of the butter, the flour, sugar and nutmeg.
5. Blend in the egg yolk.
6. Using a 4-inch round biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out a round from each egg roll wrapper.
7. Beat the egg white until foamy and lightly brush each round.
8. Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons of the almond filling in the center of each round and top with a plum quarter.
9. Fold the rounds over to form half-moons and enclose the plums.
10. Make 5 pleats along the rounded edge to seal each potsticker.
11. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil.
12. Add the potstickers and cook for 45 seconds.
13. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to cool, then drain well.
14. In a large nonstick skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the vegetable oil.
15. Add the potstickers and saute over moderately high heat until lightly browned and warmed through, about 5 minutes.
16. Stir in the honey and walnuts.
17. Mix the vanilla ice cream with the cinnamon.
18. Spoon the plum sauce on 4 plates.
19. Place a scoop of ice cream in the center of each and arrange 3 potstickers around it.
20. Garnish with a cilantro sprig and serve.
