Delight your taste buds with this wholesome Whole30 Siomay recipe, a nutritious twist on the classic Indonesian dumpling. Packed with protein-rich ground chicken, vibrant grated carrots, and aromatic ginger, these dumplings are wrapped in tender napa cabbage leaves instead of traditional wonton wrappers, making them gluten-free and perfect for clean-eating enthusiasts. A splash of coconut aminos adds depth of flavor to complement the satisfying texture, while steaming ensures a light and healthy preparation. Quick and easy to make with minimal prep time, these guilt-free dumplings are ideal for meal preppers, family dinners, and anyone on a Whole30 journey. Serve with a side of coconut aminos or your favorite Whole30-approved dipping sauce for a flavorful, well-rounded dish!
Start by mixing the ground chicken, tapioca flour, grated carrot, chopped green onions, and grated ginger in a large bowl.
Add coconut aminos, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Prepare your napa cabbage leaves by lightly steaming them to make them soft and pliable.
Take a steamed napa cabbage leaf and place approximately 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center. Fold the leaf around the filling to form a compact dumpling shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining cabbage leaves and chicken mixture.
Pour 500 ml of water into a steamer pot and bring to a boil.
Place the siomay in the steamer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Cover and steam the dumplings over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is fully cooked.
Once cooked, remove the siomay from the steamer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve your Whole30 Siomay with a side of coconut aminos for dipping or your choice of Whole30 compliant sauce.
