These savory Pork and Chive Wontons are a delightful low-carb Chinese snack, bursting with flavor and easy to make. Perfectly seasoned pork is wrapped in a delicate dough, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

• Ground pork - 200 grams
• Chopped fresh chives - 50 grams
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Ginger, minced - 1 teaspoon
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Egg - 1 large
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Almond flour - 100 grams
• Psyllium husk - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 4 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped chives, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the almond flour and psyllium husk. Gradually add water while stirring until a dough forms. Knead briefly until smooth.
3. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin circle (about 3 inches in diameter) on a lightly floured surface.
4. Place about 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture 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. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully drop the wontons into the boiling water in batches and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until they float to the top and are cooked through.
6. Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
