Adjust the seasonings to suit your own tastes.
25 minutes 15 minutes prep2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup frozen edamame, shelled
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
3 garlic cloves, minced
20 wonton wrappers
2 teaspoons cornstarch
cooking spray
1/2 cup water, divided1. To prepare sauce, combine the first 3 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
2. To prepare dumplings, cook edamame according to package directions; drain. Rinse edamame with cold water; drain well. Combine edamame, juice, sesame oil, cumin, red pepper flakes, garlic, and salt in a food processor, process until smooth.
3. Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time (cover remaining wrappers with a damp towel to prevent drying), spoon about 1 teaspoon edamame mixture in center of each wrapper. Moisten edges of dough with water; fold opposite corners to form a triangle, pinching points to seal. Place dumplings on a large baking sheet sprinkled with cornstarch.
4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Arrange half of dumplings in a single layer in pan; reduce heat to medium. Cook 1 minute or until bottoms begin to brown; turn. Add 1/4-cup water to pan; cover. Cook 30 seconds; uncover. Cook 1 minute or until liquid evaporates. Repeat procedure with the remaining dumplings and water. Serve immediately with sauce.

This recipe was easier to make than I expected, and tasted like something I'd get in a nice restaurant. When I make this again, I'll probably double the dipping sauce. It seemed a bit scant for four servings. I don't usually have dark sesame oil on hand, but I found a small 2 oz. bottle at World Harvest a while ago. I hate buying a large amount of an ingredient I rarely use, especially when I just need a tiny amount; in this case, though, the sesame oil adds a lot of flavor. You could substitute regular olive or canola oil, but it won't be nearly as good.
