Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 4 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup Organic coconut aminos
• 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 12 large Cabbage leaves
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 Bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and coconut aminos. Mix thoroughly to combine the flavors.

Step 2

Cover the mixture and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Step 3

While the meat is marinating, prepare the dough. In a separate bowl, mix almond flour, salt, and baking powder.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the almond flour mixture and stir until a dough forms. The mixture should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 5

Carve out large squares from the cabbage leaves to use as dumpling wrappers. Steam them for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender but strong enough to hold the filling.

Step 6

Remove the pork mixture from the fridge. Take a spoonful of the mixture and place it onto the center of a steamed cabbage leaf. Fold the leaf around the filling to form a dumpling, then press the edges to seal.

Step 7

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bay leaf to infuse aroma into the oil.

Step 8

Gently place the dumplings in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the pork is fully cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the dumplings from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.

Step 10

Serve hot with extra coconut aminos or your preferred low-carb dipping sauce.
