Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Ground chicken breast
- 200 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 100 grams Cabbage
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
- 120 milliliters Water
Instructions
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Grate the cabbage and carrot. Set aside.
In a bowl, mix together the ground chicken breast, chopped onion, garlic, ginger, grated cabbage, and carrot.
Add soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and chopped coriander leaves to the chicken mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined. This is the filling for the momos.
In another bowl, combine whole wheat flour and water to make a firm but pliable dough. Knead for a few minutes until smooth.
Divide the dough into small balls about 1-inch in diameter. Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 4 inches in diameter.
Place a tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of each dough circle.
Fold and pleat the edges of the dough to enclose the filling completely, forming a dumpling shape. Repeat this process for all the dough circles.
Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil in the bottom pan. Lightly oil the steamer surface to prevent sticking.
Place the momos in the steamer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Steam the momos for about 10 minutes or until the dough is cooked and the chicken is tender.
Serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
