Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 1 cup Cabbage, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Carrot, grated
- 0.25 cup Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and water to form a smooth dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until elastic, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside for 30 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, mix ground pork, cabbage, carrot, green onions, ginger, garlic, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and cilantro until well combined.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into small portions and roll each into a ball. Using a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 4-inch diameter circle.
Place a tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of each dough circle. Carefully gather the edges of the dough and pleat to seal the momo, pinching at the top.
Prepare a steamer with water at the bottom, bring it to a boil. Arrange the momos on a greased steamer tray, leaving space in between to prevent them from sticking.
Steam for about 12-15 minutes until the momos are cooked through and the dough is not sticky when touched.
Serve hot with a side of low sodium dipping sauce or tomato achaar.
