If you think “healthy” food has to be bland or boring, let me change your mind with this one! For me, I’ve noticed I feel my best eating a higher-protein, lower-carb diet, so I love satisfying recipes like this that make me feel good during and after eating😊

Recipe below or comment ‘DUMPLINGS’ to get the recipe link sent to you for easier viewing.

#RECIPE Low-Carb Chicken “Dumplings” (makes ~12)

🥬 INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 head napa cabbage (leaves separated), I used 12 leaves
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- Salt + black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1–2 tsp gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)

👩🏻‍🍳 INSTRUCTIONS

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Separate napa cabbage leaves and blanch for 1–2 minutes until pliable (do longer if using green cabbage). Pat dry or let drain and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, garlic, ginger, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, and optional gochugaru. Mix well until fully combined.

Lay a cabbage leaf flat. Add a spoonful of filling near the thicker white stem. Roll just enough to cover the filling, fold the sides inward, then continue rolling tightly like a burrito to fully seal. Place finished dumplings seam-side down.

Cook using one of the methods below:
- Steam: Steam dumplings seam-side down for 15 minutes, until fully cooked.
- Pan-fry: Cook seam-side down in neutral/high-heat oil (I use getgraza) over medium heat for 4–5 minutes. Flip and cook another 4–5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and cook 1–2 minutes more, turning to crisp all sides.

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce. I love topping mine with chili oil.
