• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt.

Step 2

Pour the boiling water into the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined.

Step 3

Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the ground pork, cabbage, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, and egg until evenly combined.

Step 5

Divide the dough into small round balls, about the size of a walnut.

Step 6

Roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface (using almond flour) into a thin circle to form the dumpling wrappers.

Step 7

Place a spoonful of the pork filling in the center of each wrapper.

Step 8

Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly, forming a crescent shape.

Step 9

Heat the olive oil or spray a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 10

Add the dumplings to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 11

Pour the 0.25 cup of water into the pan and cover immediately.

Step 12

Steam the dumplings for 5-7 minutes until the water has evaporated.

Step 13

Uncover the pan and allow the dumplings to crisp up for another minute.

Step 14

Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
