Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Hot water
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 Green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well.
Slowly add hot water to the flour mixture, stirring with a spoon or spatula until it starts to come together.
Knead the dough gently with your hands until it forms a smooth and pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling. In another bowl, mix ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green chilies (if using), coriander leaves, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.
Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter. Keep the edges thinner than the center to make pleating easier.
Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each dough circle. Gently fold the edges together to seal, pleating as you go to create the traditional momo shape.
Preheat a steamer and lightly grease the steaming tray with oil to prevent sticking.
Place the momos in the steamer, ensuring they are not touching each other. Steam for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the dumpling wrappers are translucent.
Serve hot with a side of gluten-free chili garlic dipping sauce or your favorite condiment. Enjoy!
