Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cups tapioca flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 2 stalks chopped green onions
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon minced ginger
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 cup finely shredded cabbage
• 0.5 cup grated carrot
• 0.25 cup finely chopped cashews

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and sea salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the eggs and water into the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms. Knead slightly with your hands until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more almond flour.

Step 3

Cover the dough and let it rest while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine ground chicken, green onions, garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, sesame oil, cabbage, carrot, and cashews. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Divide the dough into two parts for easier handling. Roll out one piece of dough between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking, until it is about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 6

Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut dough into circles. Gather excess dough and re-roll as needed.

Step 7

Place approximately one tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle.

Step 8

Gently fold the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle, pinching the edges tightly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.

Step 9

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer and carefully drop the dumplings in, cooking for about 8-10 minutes or until the dumplings float and the filling is cooked through.

Step 10

Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and serve hot.
