Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 cup Vegan chicken strips (soy-based or seitan)
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
- 0.25 cup Carrot, finely grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Vegetable oil
- 2 cups Additional water (for steaming)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth, elastic dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the filling. Chop the vegan chicken strips into fine pieces or pulse them in a food processor for a shredded texture.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion, cabbage, and carrot to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
Stir in the chopped vegan chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
Divide the rested dough into small equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle (3-4 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin.
Place 1-2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold and pleat the edges to seal the momo completely.
Prepare a steamer and bring the water to a boil. Lightly grease the steamer basket to prevent sticking, and arrange the momos in a single layer without touching each other.
Steam the momos for 10-12 minutes until the dough is cooked and slightly translucent.
Serve the vegan steamed chicken momos hot, accompanied by your favorite dip or spicy momo sauce.
