Mila Pot Stickers

Combine Mila, meat, vegetables and spices in a bowl and mix thoroughly. In a small bowl, whip egg and set aside. In a large saucepan, boil 6-8 quarts of water.

Place 1 tablespoon of the mixture in the center of a wanton wrapper. Brush the edge with whipped egg and fold over to seal the edges trying to get all the air out.

Put the pot stickers in the boiling water for 1 minute. Remove and let cool on a rack.

Place oil in a sauté pan and heat on medium high. Sauté potstickers until golden brown on both sides. Put on plate and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. You could also brush each pot sticker with oil and bake in the oven on 450 until golden brown turning half way thru.
