Ingredients

• 1 lb ground pork
• 4 pieces green onions
• 3 cloves garlic clove
• 1 tbsp ginger
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 12 pieces Napa cabbage leaves
• 2 tbsp coconut flour
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Set the pork mixture aside to marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the cabbage leaves.

Step 4

In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the Napa cabbage leaves for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until they turn bright green and become pliable. Transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

Step 5

Pat the cabbage leaves dry with paper towels and lay them flat on a clean surface.

Step 6

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture onto the bottom half of each cabbage leaf, then fold the top half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Use toothpicks if needed to secure each potsticker.

Step 7

Dredge the bottom of each potsticker lightly in coconut flour to help with browning.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 9

Place the potstickers, floured side down, into the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes without moving, until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 10

Carefully pour the water into the skillet and cover immediately. Allow the potstickers to steam for 5-7 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the lid, letting any remaining water evaporate, and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.

Step 12

Serve hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce or soy sauce.
