Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Water (for steaming dumplings)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together warm water and one beaten egg.

Step 3

Gradually add the liquid to the dry ingredients, stirring constantly, until the dough comes together. Knead for a few minutes until smooth.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest while preparing the filling.

Step 5

For the filling, in another bowl, mix together ground pork, chopped green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Divide the rested dough into 24 even portions. Roll each portion into a small ball and then flatten into a circle about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Place a tablespoon of filling into the center of each dough circle. Pinch the edges together to seal and form pleats, ensuring the filling is tightly enclosed.

Step 8

Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 9

Add the dumplings in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 10

Carefully pour in 1/2 cup of water and cover the skillet with a lid. Steam the dumplings for another 5-6 minutes until the water evaporates and the filling is cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate. Allow the bottoms of the dumplings to crisp up again.

Step 12

Remove the dumplings and repeat with remaining batches.

Step 13

Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce, like gluten-free soy sauce or chili oil.
