Ingredients

  • 250 g ground pork
  • 1/2 cup shelled edamame roughly chopped
  • 2 scallions finely chopped, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp glucomannan powder
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp soy sauce for the broth
  • 1 tsp sesame oil for the broth

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine pork, edamame, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and glucomannan powder. Mix well until sticky.
  • Shape into small quenelles or balls using two spoons.
  • Bring the chicken broth to a gentle simmer in a pot. Season with soy sauce and sesame oil.
  • Carefully drop the dumpling balls into the simmering broth. Poach for 10-12 minutes until cooked through and floating.
  • Ladle into bowls with plenty of broth and garnish with extra scallion.

Notes

Chef's Tip: Keep the broth at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil - a hard boil can break the dumplings apart before they set. Keto Swaps: forming the filling into wrapper-free dumpling balls keeps this dish naturally low-carb without losing the dumpling-in-broth experience.
