Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 3 cups green cabbage
- 1 cup carrots
- 3 stalks green onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca flour
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the filling. Finely shred 3 cups of green cabbage and 1 cup of carrots. Mince 3 cloves of garlic and 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger. Chop 3 stalks of green onions.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing for about a minute until fragrant.
3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add 1 pound of ground pork. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking the meat apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Stir in 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos and continue to stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, about 4-5 minutes.
5. Mix in the chopped green onions and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
6. To make the wrappers, combine 1.5 cups of almond flour and 0.5 cup of tapioca flour in a bowl. Add 1 large egg and 0.5 cup of water, mixing until a dough forms.
7. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle about 6 inches in diameter, using additional tapioca flour to prevent sticking.
8. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil. Cook each wrapper for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Set aside on a plate covered with a towel to keep warm.
9. Assemble the egg rolls by placing about 2 tablespoons of the pork filling in the center of each wrapper. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides.
10. In the same skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally until all sides are golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
11. Serve the Whole30 Pork Egg Rolls warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
