Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 3 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 cup Cauliflower rice (for filling)
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Arrowroot flour
- 3 pieces Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped green onions, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and cauliflower rice. Mix well to combine everything evenly.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, prepare the dumpling wrappers by mixing the almond flour, arrowroot flour, eggs, salt, and water. Stir until it forms a dough.
Step 3
Turn the dough onto a clean surface dusted with arrowroot flour, and knead gently until it becomes smooth.
Step 4
Divide the dough into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter) and roll each out into thin circles about 3-4 inches in diameter.
Step 5
Place a tablespoon of the pork filling in the center of each dough circle.
Step 6
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
Step 7
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
Once the oil is hot, place the dumplings in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9
Serve the dumplings hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
