Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut flour
• 1 cup tapioca starch
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.75 cup warm water
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0 as needed avocado oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, tapioca starch, and sea salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp towel and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the ground chicken, minced ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, grated carrot, coconut aminos, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

Divide the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Flatten each ball into a circle about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Step 6

Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring there is enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.

Step 7

Place the dumplings in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry on one side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully flip the dumplings and fry the other side until cooked through and crispy, another 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the dumplings from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 10

Serve the crispy dumplings warm with additional coconut aminos or your favorite Paleo dipping sauce.
