Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 4 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
• 1 cup Cabbage, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum.

Step 2

Pour in the boiling water slowly while stirring with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes or until smooth. Cover the dough with a damp cloth for 30 minutes to rest.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, mix together ground pork, green onions, ginger, garlic, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and cabbage until well combined.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle, about 4 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Place approximately 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges to seal tightly, ensuring no filling leaks out.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the dumplings, flat-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 9

Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes. The slurry will turn into a thin crispy layer on the dumplings.

Step 10

Serve the dumplings hot with your choice of gluten-free dipping sauce.
