These fluffy buns are crafted with a grain-free dough made from almond flour, coconut flour, and psyllium husk powder, giving them a satisfyingly soft texture while keeping them completely keto-friendly. The filling is a mouthwatering mix of seasoned ground pork, infused with soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and green onions for an authentic flavor profile. Steamed to perfection, these buns are tender, aromatic, and perfect for satisfying cravings without compromising your keto lifestyle. Whether you're meal prepping or serving them fresh as a snack or appetizer, these gluten-free steamed buns are a must-try for anyone looking to enjoy a healthier version of their favorite dim sum treat!
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the dough by combining almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing well until a dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to absorb the moisture.
Meanwhile, prepare the pork filling. In a separate bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc with your hands, leaving the edges slightly thinner than the center.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture into the center of each disc. Carefully fold the edges of the dough around the filling, pinching to seal at the top to form a bun.
Place each bun on a small square of parchment paper to prevent sticking during steaming.
Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil. Once boiling, arrange the buns in the steamer basket, leaving enough space between them to expand.
Steam the buns over medium heat for 20 minutes, ensuring the pork filling cooks through completely.
Remove the buns from the steamer and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly steamed pork buns!
