Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, psyllium husk powder, and xanthan gum.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly and then add warm water and apple cider vinegar, mixing well.

Step 4

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 5

While the dough is resting, prepare the pork filling. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Add ground pork to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in soy sauce, chopped green onions, salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes, cooking for another 2 minutes.

Step 9

Remove pork mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 10

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Flatten each portion into a circle about 4 inches in diameter.

Step 11

Place a spoonful of the pork mixture in the center of each dough circle.

Step 12

Gently fold the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching to seal the top.

Step 13

Place the filled bao on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until bao are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 15

Allow the Keto Pork Bao to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
