Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 4 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 12 pieces Cabbage leaves, large
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 1 medium Carrot, shredded
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, green onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, coconut aminos, sesame oil, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2
Trim the thick stem portions from the cabbage leaves to make them pliable.
Step 3
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pork mixture onto the center of each cabbage leaf. Gently fold the sides of the leaf over the filling, then roll it up like an envelope to create a dumpling. Secure the ends with a toothpick if necessary.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. When hot, add the dumplings seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are browned.
Step 5
Carefully add a tablespoon or two of water to the skillet and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Steam the dumplings for about 10-12 minutes or until the pork is no longer pink and the cabbage is tender.
Step 6
Remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional minute, allowing any remaining water to evaporate.
Step 7
Transfer the dumplings to a serving platter, garnishing with shredded carrots as a fresh and vibrant topping.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy these Whole30 Pork Dumplings with a side of compliant dipping sauce, if desired.
