Ingredients

• 250 grams Raw prawns (peeled and deveined)
• 100 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 100 ml Hot water
• 1 teaspoon Minced ginger
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Chopped green onions
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground white pepper
• 5 large leaves Cabbage leaves (for steaming)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, blend the raw prawns to form a coarse paste. Transfer to a bowl.

Step 2

Add minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onions, and ground white pepper to the prawn paste. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually pour hot water into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until a dough forms. Allow it to cool slightly before kneading into a smooth, pliable dough.

Step 5

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out to approximately 1-2mm thickness using a rolling pin.

Step 6

Using a round cutter (approximately 3 inches in diameter), cut out circles from the dough to create dumpling wrappers. Collect the excess dough and repeat the rolling and cutting process until all dough is used.

Step 7

Place a small spoonful of the prawn filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper.

Step 8

Carefully fold the wrapper in half to form a semi-circle, pinching the edges together to seal. If necessary, moisten the edges with a drop of water to help seal them.

Step 9

Line a steamer basket with cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings on top of the leaves, leaving some space between them.

Step 10

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place the steamer basket over the pot and steam the dumplings for 6-8 minutes, or until the prawns are fully cooked and the wrappers are tender.

Step 11

Serve hot with a side of soy sauce or chili oil for dipping.
