One of the most popular Chinese side dishes is dumplings. A dumpling is a pastry filled with meat, vegetable, and Asian flavorings like soy sauce, sesame oil, etc. They are pan-fried or steamed until the meat is cooked, leaving you with a super soft dumpling with a juicy and delicious filling. Luckily, we have the BEST Keto version of this famous dish. This Keto Chinese food recipe starts with a low-carb dough that is super easy to make and pliable to work with. The filling consists of ground chicken, cabbage, spring onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and a couple more condiments. This Chinese side dish is so tasty and indulgent; no one would guess it's Keto-friendly. This dough uses almond flour, oat fiber baking powder, xanthan gum, vinegar, water, and an egg. The xanthan gum, which can't be omitted, makes this dough super elastic and pliable. You can prepare this dough in a food processor in a matter of minutes. For this Keto Chinese dumpling recipe, we have used ground chicken. You can also use ground pork or turkey; make sure that the meat has at least 20% fat for succulent dumplings. For a vegetarian version, you can omit the meat and double the amount of veggies or add soy crumbles or cooked mushrooms. These Keto dumplings are phenomenal on their own and pair well with various sides. Try pairing this meal with one of Carb Manager's Keto-friendly Chinese food recipes.

Making Keto pastry from scratch can be challenging, let alone vegan Keto puff pastry. This recipe uses homemade vegan butter to create the flaky layers that we all love. With this dough, you can recreate many Keto-friendly versions of popular recipes such as Danish pastry, pies, and galettes. Use cold butter for this recipe. Using room temperature or melted butter will incorporate with the dry ingredients, which isn't what we're after. You should be able to see pieces of butter throughout the dough. These are what create the flaky layers of the puff pastry. We recommend using a food processor to prepare this dough. It makes this recipe a lot easier and will keep the dough cold. When rolling and folding the dough, make sure to do so in a cold room and on a cold surface. If the dough starts to warm up, pop it in the freezer for 15 minutes, then roll and fold again. The dough will be rough at first, but it will smooth out after the third roll-and-fold. One of the essential ingredients in this recipe is the vital wheat gluten. It makes the dough elastic, which helps form layers without tearing the dough. We don't recommend omitting it or replacing it. This vegan butter is just as creamy and delicious as regular butter. Its main ingredient is cocoa butter, but since it is too hard at room temperature, we are melting and mixing it with flavorless oil. Then, we emulsify it with almond milk until it reaches a creamy consistency. Finally, we wrap it in parchment paper, press it into a rectangle, and refrigerate it until needed. Once the dough is ready, wrap it in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze it, roll it out into your desired thickness, fold it, wrap it in plastic wrap, and store it in the freezer for 3 months. When you're ready to use it, let it thaw on the counter for a couple of hours.
