Ingredients

• 500 g ground pork
• 4 green onions, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, grated
• 3 tbsp coconut aminos
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp pepper
• 1 cup tapioca flour
• 0.5 cup coconut flour
• 2 eggs
• 0.5 cup water
• 4 tbsp coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 2

In another bowl, prepare the dumpling wrapper dough by mixing tapioca flour, coconut flour, and salt together.

Step 3

Whisk the eggs with water in a separate small bowl, then gradually add the egg mixture into the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, dust it with a little more coconut flour.

Step 5

Divide the dough into small portions, about a tablespoon each, and roll them into balls. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle to form a dumpling wrapper.

Step 6

Place a heaping teaspoon of the pork filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape, then pinch the edges together to seal.

Step 7

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the dumplings, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry the dumplings for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and the pork is cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the dumplings from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot with additional coconut aminos or your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauce.
