Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Tapioca starch - 1/4 cup
• Egg - 1 large
• Water - 50 ml

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, egg, and water. Mix until a dough forms, then knead briefly until smooth.
3. In another bowl, mix ground pork, finely chopped chives, minced garlic, grated ginger, coconut aminos, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and shape each portion into a small disc.
5. Place a spoonful of the pork and chive filling in the center of each disc, fold over to create a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal.
6. Place the dumplings on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with olive oil.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden brown and cooked through.
