Ingredients

• Ground pork - 200 grams
• Shredded cabbage - 100 grams
• Green onions - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce (or coconut aminos) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Egg - 1, beaten
• Pork rinds (finely crushed) - 50 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons (for frying)
• Dipping sauce (sugar-free) - for serving

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ground pork, shredded cabbage, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, beaten egg, crushed pork rinds, salt, and black pepper.
2. Mix the filling thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
3. To form the gyoza, take a keto-friendly wrapper or use a small piece of lettuce or cabbage leaf. Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center.
4. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges tightly to seal. Repeat until all filling is used.
5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the gyoza in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
6. Add 50ml of water to the pan and cover with a lid. Allow the gyoza to steam for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through.
7. Remove the lid and let the excess water evaporate, then add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and fry for an additional 2 minutes for a crispy finish.
8. Serve hot with sugar-free dipping sauce.
