Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Warm water
- 1 pound Ground chicken or pork
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined, then stir in the melted butter and warm water.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Knead lightly until smooth.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
While the dough chills, prepare the filling by combining ground chicken or pork, chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a large bowl.
Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thick.
Use a round cutter or a glass to cut the dough into circles (about 3 inches in diameter).
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil.
Place the dumplings in the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Add a splash of water to the skillet and cover to steam the dumplings, allowing them to cook through, about 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and continue cooking until any remaining water evaporates.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
