In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped cabbage, scallions, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat one egg and mix it with almond flour, tapioca starch, and coconut milk to form a dough. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
Divide the dough into 16 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a thin round wrapper using a rolling pin. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Place a tablespoon of the filling mixture onto the center of each wrapper. Carefully fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pinching the edges together to seal.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add dumplings in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
Once browned, add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 5-7 minutes or until the water evaporates.
Remove the lid and let the dumplings crisp up for another 2 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 dumplings!
