Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Raw prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup Boiling water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for strict keto)
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Start by making the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and xanthan gum.
2. Gradually add the boiling water to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spoon until a dough begins to form. Knead the dough lightly for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
3. Cover the dough with a damp towel and set aside while preparing the filling.
4. For the filling: Chop the raw prawns finely or pulse them briefly in a food processor until lightly minced.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the minced prawns with sesame oil, soy sauce or coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Set aside.
6. Roll the dough into a log and cut it into 10-12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a thin circle using a rolling pin. Place the circles between sheets of parchment paper as you work to prevent sticking.
7. Place a spoonful of the prawn filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges up around the filling and pinch to seal, forming dumpling shapes.
8. Fill a steamer or a pot with water and bring to a gentle boil. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper or a cabbage leaf to prevent the dumplings from sticking.
9. Arrange the dumplings in a single layer in the steamer basket, making sure they do not touch. Steam for 8-10 minutes, or until the dumpling wrappers are tender and the prawns are cooked through.
10. Serve hot with your choice of a low-carb dipping sauce, such as soy sauce with a dash of sesame oil and chili flakes.
