Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 large Eggs
• 8 ounces Ground chicken
• 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low sodium or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 clove Minced garlic
• 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 4 cups Chicken broth (for boiling, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and xanthan gum. Whisk together until well incorporated.

Step 2

Crack one egg into the dry ingredients and mix until the dough begins to form. Gradually add water one tablespoon at a time until the dough is pliable but not sticky.

Step 3

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, combine the ground chicken, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 5

Once the dough has rested, divide it into small portions. Using a rolling pin or pasta machine, roll each portion into thin sheets (about 1/16 inch thick). Cut the sheets into 3-inch squares.

Step 6

Place a small teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center of each square. Lightly beat the second egg and use it as a wash along the edges of the wrapper to help seal it.

Step 7

Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing down on the edges to seal tightly. Optionally, bring the two opposite corners together and press to create a traditional wantan shape.

Step 8

Bring a pot of water or chicken broth to a gentle boil. Add the wantans in small batches and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.

Step 9

Using a slotted spoon, remove the wantans and serve immediately. They can be enjoyed with dipping sauces or in a bowl of light broth.
