Low-Carb Pork & Tofu Dumplings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground pork (75% lean)
  • 1 pack firm tofu, drained and crumbled
  • 1 head Napa cabbage
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chives, chopped (or swap green onions)
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari if gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp ginger, minced
  • Pinch of salt
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish

Directions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Separate the Napa cabbage leaves and blanch 1–2 minutes until pliable. Pat dry and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, crumbled tofu, garlic, chives (or green onions), coconut aminos, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  • Let the filling sit 20 minutes so the flavors meld.
  • Place a spoonful of filling onto a cabbage leaf, then roll and fold to seal (like wrapping a burrito).
  • Steam the dumplings 15 minutes until fully cooked, or pan-fry in avocado oil until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
