Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 0.5 cup Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 2 tablespoons Tamari sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt together.

Step 2

Make a well in the center and crack the egg into it. Add the water and olive oil, then whisk the egg with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour mixture to form a dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough rests, prepare the filling by combining the ground chicken, green onions, ginger, garlic, grated carrot, tamari sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a 1/4 inch thick sheet on a lightly floured surface.

Step 6

Use a round cutter to cut out circles from the dough. Repeat rolling and cutting with the remaining dough.

Step 7

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pinching the edges to seal.

Step 8

In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the dumplings and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 minutes.

Step 9

Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and steam the dumplings for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the filling is cooked through.

Step 10

Serve the dumplings hot, with additional tamari sauce for dipping if desired.
