Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 300 grams Rice flour
- 100 grams Tapioca starch
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free)
- 100 milliliters Chicken broth
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 250 milliliters Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, gluten-free soy sauce, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, salt, black pepper, and sesame oil until well combined; set aside.
To make the dough, combine rice flour and tapioca starch in a mixing bowl. Gradually add water and mix until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and pliable. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into small 1-inch balls. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin circle, approximately 3 inches in diameter.
Place a tablespoon of pork filling in the center of each circle. Bring the edges together and pleat to seal the momo, pinching tightly to prevent opening during cooking.
In a steamer, bring water to a boil. Lightly oil the steamer basket or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Place the momos in the steamer basket, leaving some space between each piece. Steam the momos for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
Serve the momos hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a spicy tomato chutney or tamari soy sauce.
