- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Warm water

- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (Keto-friendly)
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add olive oil and warm water, mixing well.
Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and knead until a dough forms.
Cover dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add shredded chicken.
Stir in soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, scallions, sesame oil, and cilantro, cooking until fragrant and heated through.
Preheat a steamer or steaming rack over a pot with boiling water.
Divide rested dough into 8 equal portions and flatten each into a circle on a piece of parchment paper.
Place a spoonful of chicken filling in the center of each dough circle and fold to seal into a bun shape.
Arrange the buns in the steamer, leaving a bit of space between each.
Steam buns for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and fluffy.
Remove buns from steamer and let cool slightly before serving.
