Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 cup Minced chicken
- 0.5 cup Grated cabbage
- 0.25 cup Grated carrot
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Minced ginger
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon Low sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Cornstarch
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and water to form a smooth, pliable dough. Knead for 8-10 minutes, then cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 20 minutes.
Prepare the filling by combining minced chicken, grated cabbage, grated carrot, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green onions, low sodium soy sauce, black pepper, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Divide the dough into small, equal portions and roll each portion into a thin circle (approximately 3-4 inches in diameter).
Place a small spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each circle. Carefully fold and pinch the edges together to seal the momo, forming a pleated pouch shape.
Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking. Arrange the momos in the steamer, ensuring they don’t touch each other.
Steam the momos over boiling water for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is cooked and the filling is firm and fragrant.
Serve hot with a low sodium dipping sauce or steamed vegetables on the side.
