Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Egg - 1 large
• Ground pork - 200 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Coconut aminos - 2 tablespoons
• Chicken broth - 4 cups
• Cauliflower - 1 cup, riced
• Carrot - 1 small, julienned
• Mushrooms - 100 grams, sliced
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, egg, salt, and pepper to form a dough. Knead until smooth.
2. In another bowl, mix ground pork, garlic, ginger, green onions, and coconut aminos. This will be your filling.
3. Roll out the almond flour dough on a floured surface and cut into squares (about 5 cm each).
4. Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each square. Fold the dough over to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal.
5. In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and carrots, sautéing until softened.
6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
7. Carefully add the wontons to the broth and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float and are cooked through.
8. Add riced cauliflower to the soup and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
9. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
