Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 3 tablespoons Tapioca starch
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 1 cup Cashews
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Water (for cheese filling)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Soak the cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once soaked, drain and rinse them.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, minced garlic, onion powder, and 2 tablespoons water. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Set aside as your cheese filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, and salt.

Step 4

Add the egg and warm water to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. It should be smooth and slightly sticky.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface (using additional tapioca starch if needed) and knead it gently for about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 7

Flatten each ball between two sheets of parchment paper using a rolling pin to form a thin circular wrapper, approximately 6 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling in the center of each wrapper.

Step 9

Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal, using a little water if necessary.

Step 10

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 11

Add the gyoza to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the skillet and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm with your favorite Paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
