Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
- 0.5 cup Carrot, finely grated
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cooking oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the water while mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
Prepare the filling by heating 1 teaspoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant.
Add the finely shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped onion to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper, mixing well. Cook for another 1 minute. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each portion into a thin, circular wrapper (approximately 3-4 inches in diameter).
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Bring the edges together and pinch them to seal, forming a pleated or crescent-shaped momo.
Prepare a steamer by lining the tray with parchment paper or oiling it lightly to prevent sticking. Arrange the momos on the tray without overcrowding.
Steam the momos over boiling water for 12-15 minutes, or until the wrapper becomes translucent and the dough is fully cooked.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as spicy tomato chutney or soy sauce-based dip.
