Ingredients

• 500 grams ground pork
• 2 stalks green onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 unit egg
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 cup almond flour
• 200 grams mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until well combined.

Step 3

For the dough, in a microwave-safe bowl, add the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, or until melted. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Once the cheese mixture is smooth, add almond flour, coconut flour, and water. Mix quickly until a dough begins to form.

Step 5

Place the cheese dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin sheet using a rolling pin.

Step 6

Using a round cutter or the rim of a glass, cut circles out of the dough.

Step 7

Place about a tablespoon of the pork filling onto each dough circle. Gently fold the dumpling and seal the edges by pressing them together. You can use a bit of water to help seal them if necessary.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Once hot, place the dumplings flat side down and cook for about 2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 9

Add a splash of water to the pan (about 2 tablespoons) and cover with a lid. Steam for an additional 3-4 minutes to ensure the filling is cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the lid and let any remaining liquid evaporate, ensuring the bottom gets crispy again.

Step 11

Serve hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
