Potstickers or Dumplings or Momos?
Potstickers, momos or dumplings. Whatever you call them, these are little packets of deliciousness. I love a good pork filling in mine but you can use any meat you like. If you are vegetarian or vegan, paneer, tofu, mushrooms etc all work as well. You can also steam these first and then pan fry it like I did in my original Keto Potstickers recipe. And honestly if you feeling a bit more adventurous in the kitchen then attempt my recipe for Hungarian Cabbage rolls, they are to die for!!!
An awesome Keto snack!
One of the great things about these is that they not only make a proper main course but they are also a great Keto snack. If you’ve got the munches in between means what’s healthier than this? It’s practically meat and vegetables. So dig in!!
Now there might be a few people on the fence about using soya sauce on Keto but you’re welcome to swap that out for coconut aminos or any other seasoning you like. Throw in a few chopped chilies or some chili flakes if you like a bit of heat on your meat.

March 18, 2021 at 9:33 pmThere’s a kernel of an idea here. Personally, I was a little concerned about whether the pork would cook through, so I thought I would roll some pork balls and steam them in the Chinese fashion first before wrapping them in cabbage leaves before following your recipe. In order to form them into balls, keep them together, and raise the fat content, I added two egg yolks.
I can see that this idea is infinitely variable (I’m thinking about some kaffir lime leaves, green chilli, etc – that sort of thing).
I am enjoying reading your recipes!

Although I think Canadian green cabbage is different as most of the leaves broke and tore, instead of easily peeling off… So next time I’ll buy two heads to be sure I can get enough whole leaves! And the pork had no trouble cooking thru as directed. Thank you for sharing! This recipe will be added to the “monthly repeat” list for sure!

August 12, 2022 at 3:47 amAwesome!! Glad to hear that. As for the cabbage did you try peeling it raw? or maybe try blanching it for a shorter duration? A little trial and error might help sort that out. Like you said it’s probably different.
