Methods :

Heat a skillet or grillpan to medium. Spray each side of a patty. Then grill patties over medium to medium-low heat; grill both sides (about 8mins total). Cool; coarsely chop into 1/4-inch pieces.Makes about 1 cup.
 
Combine diced Gardenburger? with shredded cabbage, bean sprouts, green onions, ginger, hoisin, water chestnuts and cayenne,if desired.
 
Place 2 tsp. of filling in the center of the wonton wrapper, moisten edges with water or a little beaten egg and seal. If using square wonton wraps,make triangles.If using round wraps, crimp edges with crimping tool, pot sticker fork or fingers. Make sure they are well sealed!.Protect filled wontons from drying out by covering with damp paper towel.
 
To cook pot stickers, oil (spray or the peanut oil) may be needed to prevent sticking.
 
In a large non-stick skillet, arrange pot stickers flat side down (or one triangle side down) and cook in batches of 6-12 but don?t overcrowd the pan. Heat carefully with oil over medium low heat until undersides are golden brown. Then add 1/2 cup water and cover with a loose-fitting lid to generate steam. Once water is evaporated (4-6 minutes) the pot stickers will be ready to serve.
 
Serve with dipping sauce of vinegar and hoisin. Garnish with chinese mustard, sesame seeds,and/or chili oil.
