In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while kneading to form a smooth and soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
In a separate bowl, prepare the filling by combining shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped onion, spring onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, oil, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Divide the rested dough into small, equal-sized balls (about 1-inch in diameter).
Roll out each ball into thin, round wrappers, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter. Use a rolling pin and ensure the edges are slightly thinner than the center.
Place a small spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold and pleat the edges to seal the momo into a half-moon or round shape. Pinch tightly to ensure the filling does not spill out.
Prepare a steamer by lining it with a lightly greased parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
Place the momos in the steamer, ensuring there is space between each to avoid sticking.
Steam the momos over boiling water for 10-12 minutes or until the wrappers are translucent, and the filling is cooked through.
Serve the sugar-free veg momos hot with a side of soy dipping sauce or spicy tomato chutney.
