Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Ground pork
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 200 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely sliced
- 50 grams Cabbage, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a pan over medium heat, lightly saute the minced garlic and grated ginger for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, mix together the ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, sauteed garlic and ginger, green onions, chopped cabbage, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese and almond flour. Microwave for about 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the egg to the melted cheese and almond flour mixture and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a clean surface for a few minutes until it's smooth.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball into a circle, about 3 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin or your hands.
Place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal and form a dumpling.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the dumplings and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the dumplings hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce, such as a low-carb soy sauce or vinegar.
