Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground pork
• 200 grams Green cabbage
• 3 stalks Green onion
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 80 grams Coconut flour
• 80 grams Arrowroot flour
• 1 Egg
• 120 milliliters Water
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the cabbage and green onions and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped cabbage, green onions, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, sea salt, and black pepper until well mixed.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the coconut flour and arrowroot flour together.

Step 4

Beat the egg and add it to the flour mixture along with the water, stirring until it forms a soft dough. If it is too sticky, add more arrowroot flour as needed.

Step 5

Roll the dough into a log and cut it into 20 equal pieces.

Step 6

Using a rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into a thin, round wrapper, approximately 10 cm in diameter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal, creating small pleats if desired.

Step 9

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 10

Place dumplings in the skillet, seam side up, and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Step 11

Add 60 ml of water to the pan and cover immediately to steam the dumplings, cooking for another 5-7 minutes or until the pork is fully cooked.

Step 12

Uncover and cook for an additional minute to allow any remaining water to evaporate.

Step 13

Transfer to a plate and serve warm, optionally with additional coconut aminos for dipping.
