Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup tapioca starch
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 0.5 cup hot water
• 0.5 cup carrot, finely grated
• 0.5 cup zucchini, finely grated and squeezed of excess water
• 0.5 cup shredded cabbage
• 0.25 cup shiitake mushrooms, minced
• 2 stalks scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for flavor)
• 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, and coconut flour to make the dumpling dough base.

Step 2

Gradually add hot water to the flour mixture, stirring to form a dough. Once it’s cool enough to handle, knead the dough until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes.

Step 3

For the filling, combine the grated carrot, zucchini, cabbage, minced shiitake mushrooms, and scallions in a mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add the coconut aminos, sesame oil (if using), grated ginger, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 5

Divide the rested dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin, round wrapper, about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Place 1-2 teaspoons of filling in the center of each wrapper. Carefully fold the wrapper over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. If needed, use a bit of water to help seal the edges.

Step 7

Line a bamboo or metal steamer with parchment paper to prevent sticking, or lightly grease the steamer basket with compliant oil.

Step 8

Place the dumplings in the steamer, making sure they don’t touch to prevent sticking. Steam over boiling water for 10 minutes, or until the dumpling wrappers are tender and the filling is hot.

Step 9

Serve warm with additional coconut aminos for dipping, if desired.
