Keto Spicy Wontons

Keto Spicy Wontons are a delightful twist on traditional Chinese dumplings, featuring a spicy filling wrapped in low-carb dough. These wontons are perfect for snacking while keeping your carb intake low.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Psyllium husk - 2 tablespoons
• Egg - 1 large
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ground pork - 200 grams
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sriracha sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Coconut oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, egg, and salt to form the wonton dough. Knead until the dough is smooth and pliable.
2. In another bowl, mix together ground pork, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, cilantro, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Divide the wonton dough into small balls (about 15 grams each). Roll each ball into a thin circle on a parchment paper-lined surface.
4. Place a small spoonful of the pork filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
5. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the wontons in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
6. Remove the wontons from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Serve hot with extra Sriracha for dipping.
