Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup tapioca starch
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.75 cup warm water
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed avocado oil for frying
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, tapioca starch, and sea salt.
Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp towel and set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, grated carrot, coconut aminos, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Flatten each ball into a circle about 3 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring there is enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
Place the dumplings in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry on one side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Carefully flip the dumplings and fry the other side until cooked through and crispy, another 3-4 minutes.
Remove the dumplings from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve the crispy dumplings warm with additional coconut aminos or your favorite Paleo dipping sauce.
