Instructions

Gather all dumpling ingredients and portion them into small containers so everything is ready to use.
Whisk the eggs with a hand mixer until smooth and slightly fluffy to form the base of the dough.
Add the remaining ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms, allowing time for the psyllium husk to hydrate. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to firm up.
Remove the dough from the fridge and portion it evenly, then roll into small dumpling balls.
Bring water to a boil with a steamer lined with oiled parchment, add the dumplings, and steam covered on low heat for 15 minutes.

Notes

Use parchment paper: To prevent your dumplings from sticking while they cook, place them on a small piece of parchment paper or lightly grease the steamer basket.
Don't overcrowd the steamer: Leave enough space between each dumpling so the steam can circulate and cook them evenly.
Use hot, simmering water: To ensure the dumplings cook through properly, always make sure the water is already boiling before you start steaming.
Steam with a lid: Keep the lid on throughout the steaming process to trap the steam inside, which ensures the dumplings cook faster and evenly.
Check for doneness: Steam the dumplings until they are puffed and firm to the touch, around 10-15 minutes, depending on the size. You can use a toothpick to check if the dough is cooked inside.
Add flavor to the water: For extra flavor, add herbs or spices, like ginger, thyme or garlic, to the water below your steamer to give the dumplings a subtle aromatic boost. You can even swap water with broth for an extra touch.
Avoid lifting the lid too soon: Try not to lift the lid during the first few minutes to prevent heat loss and ensure even cooking.
