Ingredients

• 500 g Ground pork
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
• 3 pieces Green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 100 g Cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 120 g Almond flour
• 2 tbsp Psyllium husk powder
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 200 ml Hot water
• 2 tbsp Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, soy sauce, minced ginger, chopped green onions, minced garlic, sesame oil, shredded cabbage, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Set aside.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the egg and add almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and baking powder. Mix evenly.

Step 3

Slowly add hot water to the flour mixture, stirring constantly, until the dough begins to form. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Divide the dough into small, even balls (about 25-30 g each) and roll each ball into a thin circle on a flat surface using a rolling pin.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges tightly to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative effect.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Once hot, carefully place the dumplings into the skillet. Fry until the bottoms are golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Add a small amount of water (about 50 ml) to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to steam the dumplings.

Step 10

Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the filling is cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the lid and allow any remaining liquid to evaporate and the bottoms to crisp further.

Step 12

Serve the dumplings hot, with a side of soy sauce or your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.
