Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Ground pork
- 3 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 Egg white
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for strict keto)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
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!
