Ingredients
- 500 g Ground pork
- 1 cup Green cabbage
- 3 Scallions, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp Coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Tapioca starch
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped cabbage, scallions, coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Set aside.
Step 2
In another bowl, beat one egg and mix it with almond flour, tapioca starch, and coconut milk to form a dough. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Divide the dough into 16 even pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a thin round wrapper using a rolling pin. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Step 4
Place a tablespoon of the filling mixture onto the center of each wrapper. Carefully fold the wrapper over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pinching the edges together to seal.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add dumplings in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
Step 6
Once browned, add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam for 5-7 minutes or until the water evaporates.
Step 7
Remove the lid and let the dumplings crisp up for another 2 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 dumplings!
