Egusi Potstickers

Mix egusi and 3 tablespoons water in a medium bowl until it creates a thick paste. Form the egusi into 9 balls (1 tablespoon each).

Heat palm oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the egusi balls, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Combine onion, dindin (or tomato sauce) and the remaining 1 cup water in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Add the egusi balls, crushing them lightly with a wooden spoon to thicken the sauce. Simmer until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.

Stir in spinach, Cameroon pepper to taste, cayenne and salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid evaporates, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.

Place about 2 teaspoons egusi mixture on each potsticker wrapper and seal the edges by pinching them closed with wet fingers.

Heat avocado (or canola) oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the potstickers in batches and cook until crispy and golden, about 3 minutes per side. With a slotted spoon, transfer the potstickers to a wire rack set over a baking sheet (or to a paper-towel-lined plate) to drain. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
