In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and sea salt. Mix well.
Add the eggs and water into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms. Knead slightly with your hands until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more almond flour.
Cover the dough and let it rest while you prepare the filling.
In a separate bowl, combine ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, sesame oil, cabbage, carrot, and cashews. Mix until well combined.
Divide the dough into two parts for easier handling. Roll out one piece of dough between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking, until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut dough into circles. Gather excess dough and re-roll as needed.
Place approximately one tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle.
Gently fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle, pinching the edges tightly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer and carefully drop the dumplings in, cooking for about 8-10 minutes or until the dumplings float and the filling is cooked through.
Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and serve hot.
