Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup boiling water
- 1 pound boneless pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch ginger
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Dice the pork shoulder into small cubes.
Add the pork to the skillet, along with soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and finely chopped green onions.
Cook the pork, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until browned.
Transfer the pork mixture to a baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and roast in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the pork is tender.
Once done, remove the pork from the oven, shred the meat with two forks, and stir in the sesame oil and black pepper. Set aside to cool.
For the dough, in a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt.
Add egg whites and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a dough.
Carefully pour in the boiling water while mixing, until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, rolling each into a ball.
Flatten each ball of dough into a disc and place a spoonful of the pork mixture in the center.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal and form a bun.
Prepare a steamer by bringing water to boil and placing parchment paper at the base.
Place the buns into the steamer, ensuring they don't touch.
Steam the buns for about 15 minutes or until the dough is firm and cooked through.
Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Roast Pork Steamed Buns.
