Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Psyllium husk powder
• 1/4 cup Hot water
• 1/2 pound Ground chicken
• 1/2 cup Napa cabbage, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Green onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for paleo/low-sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
• as needed Cooking spray or oil for steaming basket

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Gradually add hot water to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 2 minutes until it is smooth and pliable. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough rests, prepare the filling: In a second mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, napa cabbage, green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 4

Divide the rested dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a thin, round wrapper using a rolling pin. To prevent sticking, roll the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.

Step 5

Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape, then seal the edges by crimping or pressing them together. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 6

Lightly grease a steaming basket with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch each other.

Step 7

Bring a pot of water to a boil and set the steaming basket over the pot. Make sure the water does not touch the dumplings.

Step 8

Cover the basket with a lid and steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, or until the filling is fully cooked and the dumplings are firm.

Step 9

Carefully remove the dumplings from the basket and serve hot with a low-carb dipping sauce of your choice.
