Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cups coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon erythritol
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup cooked roast pork, shredded
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and erythritol. Whisk until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and egg white together. Add the almond milk and apple cider vinegar, then stir to combine.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth, thick batter forms.
In a small cup, mix the baking soda with 1 teaspoon of water and add to the batter; mix well.
Prepare the filling by combining the shredded roast pork with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, and chopped green onions in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Flatten each piece slightly and place a portion of the pork filling in the center.
Carefully gather and pinch the edges of the dough around the filling to seal, forming a bun shape.
Place each formed bun onto a small square of parchment paper, sealed side down.
Heat a steamer over medium-high heat and steam the buns for about 10-15 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and fluffy.
Serve the steamed buns warm, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
