Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground beef
• 50 grams Fresh chives
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon Ginger root, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 cups Cassava flour
• 1 cup Arrowroot starch
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg, beaten
• 200 ml Warm water

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped chives, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Mix well to integrate all ingredients. This is your dumpling filling.

Step 2

Prepare the dumpling wrappers by mixing cassava flour, arrowroot starch, and salt in a large bowl.

Step 3

Add the beaten egg to the flour mixture and stir to incorporate.

Step 4

Gradually pour in warm water, stirring continuously, until the dough forms. You may not need all of the water, so add it slowly.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface with cassava flour until it is smooth and pliable, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a log and cut into small, even pieces (around 10 grams each).

Step 7

Roll each small piece of dough into a thin circle, approximately 2-3 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.

Step 8

Place a small spoonful of beef filling in the center of each wrapper. Do not overfill.

Step 9

Fold the wrapper in half to create a semi-circle, pinching the edges together to seal. You can use a pleated edge technique by crimping and folding for added texture.

Step 10

Prepare a steamer by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, leaving space between each dumpling.

Step 12

Steam the dumplings over high heat for about 10-12 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent, and the beef is cooked through.

Step 13

Carefully remove the dumplings and serve hot with extra coconut aminos for dipping, if desired.
