Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground pork
• 12 large Green cabbage leaves
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cabbage leaves. Carefully peel away 12 large outer leaves from the cabbage. Blanch these leaves by placing them in boiling water for about 2 minutes until soft, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry the leaves using a paper towel.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, chopped green onions, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well-incorporated.

Step 3

Place a large cabbage leaf on a flat surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture onto the center of the leaf.

Step 4

Fold the cabbage leaf over the filling to create a small parcel, tucking in the sides as you roll. Continue with the remaining leaves and filling.

Step 5

Heat the coconut oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the potstickers to the pan, seam side down, in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 6

Carefully add water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Reduce heat to medium and steam the potstickers for 5-7 minutes or until the filling is fully cooked.

Step 7

Remove the lid and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the bottoms to crisp up again.

Step 8

Serve the potstickers warm with additional coconut aminos or your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
