Banana Cheesecake Potstickers

From PBS's Marc Matsumoto

These dessert potstickers feature a sweet filling that you can customize to your taste.

Ingredients

1 banana
2.3 ounces cream cheese
10 large potsticker wrappers (or 20 small ones)
1 tablespoon butter

Directions

1. Peel the banana and halve lengthwise. Cut the halves into 1/4-inch thick slices diagonally. Cut the cream cheese into pieces that are roughly the same size.

2. With a small bowl of water nearby, add equal amounts of banana and cream cheese to one half of a potsticker wrapper, being sure to leave enough room around the edges to seal the wrapper shut. Wet the rim of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling, pleating the edge to press it shut.

3. To fry the potstickers, heat a large flat bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and swirl to coat the pan.

4. Lay the potstickers flat in the pan and then, with a lid ready, add 1/3 cup water, shutting the lid immediately. Turn down the heat to medium and then steam for 4 minutes, or until the water has evaporated. Remove the lid and turn the heat back up to medium-high. Fry the potstickers until crisp and golden brown on the bottom.

5. Serve crisp-side up dusted with powdered sugar, with jam for dipping if you'd like.
