Instructions

1. Microwave mozzarella and cream cheese together for 1-2 minutes until melted. Stir to combine.
2. Add almond flour to the melted cheese mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms. Let cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, cabbage, green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg, salt, and white pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
4. Roll dough between parchment paper to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 3-4 inch circles.
5. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold in half and seal edges, creating pleats if desired.
6. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place dumplings flat-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden.
7. Add 1/4 cup water to the pan and cover immediately. Steam for 5 minutes.
8. Remove lid and cook until water evaporates and bottoms are crispy again, about 1-2 minutes.
9. Serve hot with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce.

Notes

Store cooked dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze uncooked dumplings for up to 3 months. Cook from frozen, adding 2-3 extra minutes to cooking time. These can also be steamed for 8-10 minutes or baked at 375°F for 20-25 minutes.
