This gluten-free, grain-free recipe features tender ground beef seasoned with coconut aminos, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil, enveloped in a soft, homemade dough crafted from tapioca and almond flours. Easy to prepare in just under an hour, these crispy, pan-seared dumplings are as satisfying as they are nutritious. Ideal for paleo diets and perfect for dipping in extra coconut aminos, they’re sure to become a hit at any dinner table or party.
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and sesame oil. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
In another bowl, prepare the dough by combining tapioca flour, almond flour, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly.
Add melted coconut oil to the flour mixture and gradually stir in the water until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it's too dry, add a bit more water slowly.
Divide the dough into small balls (approximately 1 tablespoon each) and roll each ball out into a small circle on a floured surface.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the beef filling onto the center of each dough circle.
Carefully fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, then press the edges together to seal the dumpling completely. You can use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil.
Place the dumplings in the skillet in a single layer, making sure they don't touch, and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve the dumplings warm, optionally with additional coconut aminos for dipping.
