How to serve Pork Dumplings
I am such of fan of fried pork dumplings and chilli oil. They are super simple to make and serve. Some of you may also like to add some gluten free soy sauce or coconut aminos to dip your dumplings into.
Enjoy them on their own fresh from the steamer or frying pan or add them to a salad for a delicious keto lunch box meal.
Tips for Success and FAQs
If you don’t like pork make keto chicken dumplings, beef, turkey or whatever ground meat dumpling you prefer.
Any cabbage or kale can be used. Alternatively use any grated vegetable, mushrooms or all meat, if preferred.
You will need the Mad Creations Soft Wraps Mix to make these.
I use a dumpling cutter and press to make mine easily at home.
You can steam with metal steamer, microwave steamer, bamboo steamer, or Thermomix.
These can also be air fried or deep fried for a super crispy wrapper.

Servings: 4 people
Tap or hover over number to scale ingredientsIngredients
- 1 cup kale sliced thinly alternatively use cabbage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 300 g pork mince
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp ginger finely grated
- 1 spring onion finely sliced
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1 packet Mad Creations Keto Soft Wrap Mix
Instructions
CONVENTIONAL METHOD
- Prepare the Soft Wrap mix as per pack instructions. Divide dough into 4 equal balls to make it easier to work with. Between 2 sheets of baking paper roll out one ball of dough to approximately 1 mm thickness. Using a small plate or large egg ring cut dumpling wrappers (approx 10 cm diameter). Repeat with all the dough until you have 30 rounds. Cover and reserve.
- Place sliced kale into a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Leave for 20 minutes. The salting draws out any excess water in the kale. Rinse and squeeze out afterwards (seems ironic but it works) and return to bowl.
- Add all remaining dumpling ingredients to the kale and mix to combine. I use my hands and mash it all together until sticky and combined.
- Spoon one teaspoon of the filling into the centre of each wrapper. Use a small dumpling press to enclose filling. Alternatively, fold wrapper over to encase the filling and pinch the edges closed or press to the edges to completely enclose the filling. Set aside and repeat with all dumplings.
- Half fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add dumplings to a steamer basket careful to leave room between each so they do not stick to one another. Steam dumplings for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with dipping sauce OR fry with a little oil in a frying pan to make crispy potstickers.
THERMAL METHOD
- Prepare the Soft Wrap mix as per pack instructions. Divide dough into 4 equal balls to make it easier to work with. Between 2 sheets of baking paper roll out one ball of dough to approximately 1 mm thickness. Using a small plate or large egg ring cut dumpling wrappers (approx 10 cm diameter). Repeat with all the dough until you have 34 rounds (approximately 8g each round). Cover and reserve.
- Place sliced kale into a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Leave for 20 minutes. The salting draws out any excess water in the kale. Rinse and squeeze out afterwards (seems ironic but it works) and transfer to mixer bowl.
- Add all remaining dumpling ingredients to the kale and mix 60 sec/speed 3.
- Spoon one teaspoon of filling into the centre of each wrapper. Use a small dumpling press to enclose filling. Alternatively, fold wrapper over to encase the filling and pinch the edges closed or press to the edges to completely enclose the filling. Set aside and repeat with all dumplings.
- Add 1 litre of water to the mixer bowl.
- Transfer dumplings to the Varoma basket and tray careful to leave room between each so they do not stick to one another. Steam dumplings for 20 min/Varoma/speed 3. Serve with dipping sauce OR fry with a little oil in a frying pan to make crispy potstickers.

Hello, Can these be frozen and if so before or after steaming?
Hi Sonya, they can be frozen before or after but I would recommend before then it just makes it easy when you want to have them as you can just steam to cook and heat.
