In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, and coconut flour. Gradually add hot water, stirring with a spoon until the mixture starts to come together. Knead the dough on a clean surface until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover with a damp towel and set aside.
In another bowl, mix the ground pork, grated ginger, minced garlic, coconut aminos, sesame oil, green onions, shredded cabbage, sea salt, and black pepper. Combine thoroughly to create the filling.
Divide the dough into small balls, roughly 1 tablespoon each. Roll each ball into a thin, round wrapper about 3 inches in diameter. Use additional tapioca starch to prevent sticking, if necessary.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the pork filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the edges up and pleat them to seal the dumpling completely.
Prepare a steamer by lining it with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Steam the dumplings over boiling water for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.
Serve immediately with extra coconut aminos or a paleo-friendly dipping sauce of your choice.
