Ingredients
- 300 grams prawns, peeled and deveined
- 50 grams coconut flour
- 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 2 whole egg whites
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons spring onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, combine the prawns, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce or tamari, sesame oil, spring onions, salt, and pepper. Pulse until you have a coarse but well-mixed filling.
Step 2
To make the dumpling wrapper, mix the coconut flour, xanthan gum, and egg whites in a medium bowl until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more coconut flour, one teaspoon at a time.
Step 3
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out until it's about ⅛-inch thick.
Step 4
Use a round cookie cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles from the dough. Re-roll scraps as needed to make additional wrappers.
Step 5
Place a tablespoon of the prawn filling in the center of each wrapper. Gently fold the wrapper in half and press the edges together to seal, forming a half-moon shape.
Step 6
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the dumplings in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
Step 7
Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip each dumpling and cook for another 3 minutes.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low and add a splash of water to the pan. Cover immediately to steam and cook the dumplings through for another 4 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the dumplings from the pan and serve hot, optionally with a side of your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
