Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 200 grams Ground chicken, lean
- 0.5 cup Carrot, finely grated
- 0.5 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce, low sodium
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture and knead into a smooth, elastic dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 20 minutes.
Prepare the filling by mixing the ground chicken, grated carrot, shredded cabbage, chopped onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, and a drop of vegetable oil in a bowl. Add cilantro if desired. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Divide the dough into small, even portions and roll each into a thin circle, approximately 3 inches in diameter.
Place a small spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each circle.
Fold the edges of the dough around the filling, pinching and pleating to seal the momo. Repeat for all portions.
Prepare a steamer by adding water to the base and bringing it to a boil.
Lightly oil the steamer tray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the momos in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch each other.
Steam the momos for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken filling is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
Serve hot with a side of low-fat yogurt or a spicy dipping sauce for a flavorful, low-fat treat.
