Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the Filling: In a pan, brown the chicken mince over medium heat with coconut oil. Add garlic and ginger; sauté for 30 seconds. Incorporate grated carrots, spring onions, and cabbage. Cook until vegetables soften, then stir in the chicken broth and honey. Cool for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Prepare Dipping Sauce: Mix tamari, sesame oil, and honey in a small bowl.
  3. Assembly: Dip rice paper sheets in warm water to soften for about 10 seconds. Place on a board and add a spoonful of filling in the center. Fold sides over to form a neat parcel. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  4. Fry Dumplings: Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Arrange dumplings folded side down, pressing gently. Cook until golden on both sides (about 3-4 minutes).
  5. Serve: Plate the dumplings, sprinkle with sesame seeds and reserve spring onions for garnish, and accompany with your delicious dipping sauce.
