Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 cup Plant-based chicken (minced)
- 0.5 cup Cabbage (finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Carrots (grated)
- 0.25 cup Green onions (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cooking oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt.
Gradually add water to the flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based chicken, cabbage, carrots, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, ground black pepper, and a touch of cooking oil. Mix well to create the filling.
Divide the rested dough into small portions and roll each piece into a thin circle (approximately 3 inches in diameter).
Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle.
Gently fold and pleat the edges of the dough around the filling, pinching to seal the top. Repeat for the remaining dough and filling.
Prepare a steamer by boiling water in the pot base. Lightly oil the steamer basket to prevent sticking.
Arrange the momos in the steamer basket, ensuring there is space between each to prevent sticking.
Steam the momos for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is cooked and translucent.
Serve hot with a side of spicy tomato chutney or dipping sauce of your choice.
