In a bowl, combine coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, and xanthan gum for the dough. Gradually add hot water and knead until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Prepare the filling by combining ground chicken, cabbage, onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion between two pieces of parchment paper into a small circle about 3 inches in diameter. Use a rolling pin and trim edges as needed.
Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Carefully fold the edges together and pleat to seal the momos. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent filling leakage.
Arrange the momos on a lined steamer basket, leaving some space between each piece to avoid sticking.
Steam the momos over boiling water for 10–12 minutes or until the filling is fully cooked and the wrappers appear translucent.
Carefully remove the momos from the steamer and serve hot with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce, such as sugar-free chili sauce or garlic butter.
