Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Tapioca flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, grated carrot, salt, and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
In another bowl, prepare the dumpling dough by combining almond flour and tapioca flour.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the egg. Gradually incorporate the egg into the flour using a fork.
Slowly add water to form a dough. Knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms, then divide it into small balls.
Flatten each dough ball into a small disk using your palms, making sure it's thin enough to cook through.
Place a spoonful of chicken filling in the center of each dough disk. Fold the disk in half over the filling and pinch the edges together to seal.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the dumplings to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Serve the dumplings warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
