Keto Mandoo

Keto Mandoo is a delicious, low-carb twist on the traditional Korean dumpling, filled with savory ground meat and vegetables wrapped in a keto-friendly dough. Perfect for a brunch dish, these dumplings are satisfying and packed with flavor while keeping your carb intake in check.

Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1 cup
• Psyllium husk powder - 1 tablespoon
• Egg - 1 large
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ground pork or chicken - 200 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Cabbage - 50 grams, finely shredded
• Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for keto) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, egg, and salt. Mix until a dough forms and set aside.
2. In another bowl, mix ground pork or chicken, minced garlic, chopped green onion, shredded cabbage, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and flatten each portion into a circle about 10 cm in diameter.
4. Place a spoonful of the meat 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 olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the Mandoo and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Add a splash of water to the skillet, cover, and steam for 5 minutes on low heat until the filling is cooked through.
7. Serve hot with a side of soy sauce or your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
