Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground chicken
• 100 grams, finely chopped Cabbage
• 2 stalks, finely chopped Green onions
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 large, lightly beaten Egg
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, cabbage, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 3

Add the water and beaten egg to the dry ingredients, mixing until a firm dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more almond flour, a tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a circular cutter or a drinking glass to cut out rounds of dough.

Step 5

Place a teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges over and press to seal the dumplings, pleating the edges as desired.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the dumplings in batches, seam side up, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully add a few tablespoons of water to the pan and cover quickly to steam the dumplings. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the water has evaporated and the dumplings are cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the lid and allow the dumplings to crisp up again for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
