Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 Eggs
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 0.25 cups Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Whisk together to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and almond milk together until smooth.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes to firm up.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Add garlic, ginger, soy sauce or coconut aminos, sesame oil, and white vinegar to the pork. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
Stir in the chopped green onions and remove the pork mixture from heat. Let it cool slightly while you prepare the dough.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a circular disc about 3-4 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center of each disc. Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching the edges to seal and form a bun shape.
Prepare a steamer with parchment paper or steamer liners to prevent sticking. Arrange the buns in the steamer, leaving some space between them as they will slightly expand.
Steam the buns over medium-high heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is firm and cooked through.
Carefully remove the buns from the steamer and let them cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy these low carb steamed pork buns warm!
