Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Cassava flour
• 0.5 cups Tapioca starch
• 0.75 cups Warm water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 cup Cabbage, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Carrot, finely grated
• 3 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoons Sesame oil (optional, Whole30-compliant if used)
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, tapioca starch, and salt. Gradually add the warm water while stirring until the dough comes together.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a clean surface for about 2-3 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside to rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, mix the ground pork, cabbage, carrot, green onions, coconut aminos, optional sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter).

Step 5

Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges together to form a half-moon shape and pinch to seal, creating pleats if desired.

Step 6

Prepare a steamer basket and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the gyoza in the steamer, ensuring they do not touch each other to allow proper steaming.

Step 7

Fill a pot with about 1 inch of water, bring to a boil, and place the steamer basket on top. Cover and steam the gyoza for 10-12 minutes or until the filling is cooked through.

Step 8

Carefully remove the steamed gyoza from the steamer and serve immediately. Pair with a Whole30-compliant dipping sauce such as coconut aminos with a splash of lime juice for extra flavor.
