Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cups Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for stricter keto)
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Water (for steaming)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and psyllium husk powder. Stir well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and unsweetened almond milk.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough lightly until smooth, then cover and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until fully browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
To the cooked pork, add soy sauce (or coconut aminos), minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat, allowing the filling to cool slightly.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and flatten each portion into a disc about 4 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center of each dough disc. Carefully fold the edges of the dough up around the filling, pinching the top to seal the bao.
Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Place the baos in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
Bring the water in a large pot to a boil and set the steamer basket over the pot. Cover with a lid and steam the baos for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through.
Remove the steamed baos from the steamer basket and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly pork baos!
