Keto Wontons

Keto Wontons are a delicious low-carb twist on the traditional Chinese snack, featuring a savory filling wrapped in a thin, almond flour-based dough. Perfect for satisfying your cravings while keeping your keto goals in check, these wontons are quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Psyllium husk powder - 1 tablespoon
• Egg - 1 large
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ground pork - 200 grams
• Green onion - 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, salt, and the egg. Mix until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. In another bowl, mix the ground pork, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a thin circle, about 10 cm in diameter.
5. Place a tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of each circle and fold the dough over to form a triangle, sealing the edges tightly.
6. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and cook the wontons in batches for about 5-6 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
7. Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and serve immediately with a dipping sauce of your choice.
