Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons Psyllium husk powder
- 0.75 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
- 0.25 cup Carrot, grated
- 0.25 cup Shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 spritz Cooking oil spray (optional, for lining the steamer)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and psyllium husk powder.
Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring the mixture with a spoon until it forms a dough. Let the dough cool for 5 minutes, then knead with your hands until smooth and pliable.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside while preparing the filling.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped shiitake mushrooms.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, tamari, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a small ball. Flatten each ball with your palms to create a thin disc for the dumpling wrapper.
Place a small spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each wrapper. Carefully fold the wrapper over the filling, pinching the edges together to seal. Repeat with all the dough and filling.
Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or spray lightly with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Place the dumplings in the steamer, leaving some space between each to avoid sticking.
Steam the dumplings over boiling water for 10-12 minutes, until the dough is firm and cooked through.
Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer. Serve warm with tamari or your favorite low-carb dipping sauce on the side.
