Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Cabbage (finely shredded)
- 0.5 cup Carrots (grated)
- 0.25 cup Onion (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (gluten-free)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
Gradually add warm water while kneading to form a smooth and pliable dough. Add vegetable oil and knead for 2-3 more minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, mix shredded cabbage, grated carrots, finely chopped onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Season the vegetable mixture with gluten-free soy sauce, black pepper powder, and sesame oil. Mix everything thoroughly and set aside.
Divide the dough into equal-sized small balls. Roll each ball into a thin, round wrapper using a rolling pin, dusting with a bit of gluten-free flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Gently fold and pleat the edges to seal the momo into a semicircle or round shape, ensuring there are no gaps.
Prepare a steamer by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly to prevent the momos from sticking.
Place the momos in the steamer, leaving some space between them to ensure even cooking. Steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the wrappers are slightly translucent and the filling is cooked.
Carefully remove the momos from the steamer and garnish with chopped scallions, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
