Low-Carb Chicken “Dumplings”
Directions
- 1Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

- 4In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and optional gochugaru.
- 5Mix well until fully combined.
- 6Lay a cabbage leaf flat.
- 7Add a spoonful of filling near the thicker white stem.
- 8Roll just enough to cover the filling, fold the sides inward, then continue rolling tightly like a burrito to fully seal.
- 9Place finished dumplings seam-side down.
- 10Steam dumplings seam-side down for 15 minutes, until fully cooked.
- 11Alternatively, pan-fry seam-side down in neutral oil over medium heat for 4–5 minutes.
