Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup turkey
  • 1 cup ham if you did not cook ham, then do 2 cups of turkey or 1 cup of turkey and 1 cup stuffing
  • 1 ½ tablespoons red chili paste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 package wonton wrappers
For the Sauce
  • 1 ½ cups ketchup
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 teaspoons red chili paste
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, add the mashed potatoes, turkey, ham, chili paste, sesame oil, and mix with a gloved hand
  2. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a flat surface. In a small bowl, mix one egg yolk and a bit of heavy cream to create an egg wash
  3. Using a small teaspoon, scoop some of the filling into the center of the wonton. Using a brush, brush some of the egg wash around the edge of the wrapper. Pick the wrapper up from the long sides, and pinch to close
  4. Repeat process until you are finished with the filling
  5. In a heavy bottom pan or Dutch oven, add canola oil to cover barely half of the dumplings when they are placed. You do not want to submerge them in oil. Heat the oil to a medium high heat. Add the dumplings and cool about a minute to a minute and a half on each side, or until they brown, and you can pick them up without them sticking to the pan
