Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut flour
- 1.5 cups Tapioca flour
- 0.75 cup Hot water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cooking oil (for greasing steamer)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, tapioca flour, and salt.
Gradually add hot water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a dough forms. Knead it gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside.
In another bowl, prepare the filling. Combine ground chicken, chopped onion, garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, cilantro, and ground black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Divide the dough into small balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter. Roll each ball into a thin, circular sheet using a rolling pin, about 3-4 inches wide.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken filling in the center of each rolled dough circle.
Carefully fold the edges of the dough to seal the filling inside. Pinch and pleat the edges to form traditional momo shapes or a half-moon shape.
Grease a steamer basket lightly with cooking oil to prevent the momos from sticking.
Arrange the momos in the steamer basket, leaving space between each to avoid sticking.
Steam the momos over boiling water for 18-20 minutes or until the dough turns translucent and the chicken is fully cooked.
Serve hot with your favorite paleo-friendly dipping sauce or chutney.
