Asian Guacamole

ingredients
POTSTICKER CRISPS
12 round potsticker skins
GUACAMOLE
1 tablespoon black or white sesame seeds
1 large firm-ripe avocado
1 tablespoon shredded pickled ginger
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
OR
3 tablespoons cider vinegar, mixed with
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder or prepared horseradish
directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
For the potsticker crisps, grease a baking sheet. Dip the dumpling skins one at a time in water, letting any excess drip off. Place them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place in oven and bake at 450 degrees F until crisp and golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Remove the crisps from the baking sheet and let cool on a rack. They can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
For the guacamole, toast the sesame seeds in a skillet over medium-high heat until they begin to pop, about 3 minutes (do not let them burn). Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Cut the flesh into a small dice and place in a bowl.
If you don't have rice vinegar, combine cider vinegar with the sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar. Set aside.
Add 1 teaspoon of the toasted sesame seeds, the pickled ginger, vinegar, and wasabi. Mix gently to combine (try not break up the avocado too much).
Place the guacamole in a serving dish, sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds, and serve with the potsticker crisps.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
