Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups cassava flour
- 0.5 cups tapioca starch
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.75 cups hot water
- 0.5 pounds ground pork
- 0.5 cups shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
- 3 stalks green onions, finely sliced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup steamed broccoli or napa cabbage (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine cassava flour and tapioca starch.
Add coconut oil and hot water to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon until a dough forms, then knead with your hands for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Cover the dough with a damp towel and set aside.
In another bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shiitake mushrooms, green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, coconut aminos, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Divide the dough into 18-20 small balls. On a sheet of parchment paper, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter. If sticky, sprinkle with a little tapioca starch to prevent sticking.
Place 1 teaspoon of the pork filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough in half over the filling, pinching and pleating the edges to seal tightly.
Prepare a steaming basket or bamboo steamer over boiling water. Line the steamer with parchment paper or a few large leaves of napa cabbage to prevent sticking.
Place the gyoza in the steamer, leaving space between them to avoid overcrowding. Cover with a lid and steam for 8-10 minutes, until the filling is fully cooked and the dumpling wrappers are tender.
Serve the steamed gyoza warm. Optionally, pair with steamed broccoli or napa cabbage for a complete Paleo-friendly meal.
