Low carb Gyoza
Stuffed Cabbage Roll
I thought that with so few ingredients there was no way these could be good. I was surprised.
We actually ate them warm and cold and they were good in both ways.
Prep:30min Cook:15min Ready in:45min
WHAT I USE
1 medium egg
Cabbage
Onion and Garlic
Soy sauce and Calamansi
Garlic Salt, Salt and Pepper to taste
Minced Pork
WHAT TO DO
Mix in cabbage, onion, garlic, ground pork, egg, garlic salt, salt and pepper.
Place approximately 1 tablespoon of pork mixture in the center of each cabbage wrapper.
Fold wrappers in half over filling, and seal edges.
Place water into skillet and reduce heat. Cover and allow gyoza to steam for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and Calamansi.
Use the mixture as a dipping sauce for the finished wrappers.
These do not seal like normal gyoza/mandu/potstickers, but they still hold up just fine
I loved these and will ask my boyfriend to make them again. I had never made them before and found that folding the cabbage wrapper to be a little tricky.
In the end, just know that they do not necessarily have to look perfect, they just have to be sealed really well.
A lot of work but definitely worth it.

For the crust
2 oz Butter (melted)
1 and 1/2 Cup of Almond Flour
1 Tsp Cinnamon powder

1 Tsp parmesan cheese
1/2 Cup All purpose cream
1 Packet of gelatin i use knox
1 Tsp Vanilla extract

WHAT TO DO
For the crust
Combine in a round pan almond flour, sugarfree, cinnamon and melted butter
Use fork to blend everything together

Pour in only half of the gelatine mixture into beaten cream
The mixture will thicken up as it cools in the refrigerator. So, I put the bowl in the refrigerator for about 30-45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes.
Take the bowl of the filling mixture out of the refrigerator when it has thickened enough to a spreadable consistency.
Take a rubber spatula to evenly spread the filling into the prepared crust.

My 1st week on Keto diet
I was hesitant to try keto diet until my diabetic educator friend recommended and explained its role on weight loss. Keto diet has its share of controversies relating to it’s effectiveness, safety and health benefits. I can’t speak for everyone who tried this, but after one week on keto, I am liking my overall results.
In layman terms, keto diet uses fat as energy source, when carb intake is lowered. A diet plan which is high in fats, moderate in protein and low in carb is recommended to achieve the results.
My beginning weight is 74.6 kg. To keep track, (not into much specific measurements) I kept a food diary.
