Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 100 grams Cabbage, finely chopped
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Tapioca flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 milliliters Water
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped cabbage, grated carrot, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, coconut aminos, chopped cilantro, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. In another bowl, prepare the dough by mixing almond flour and tapioca flour together with a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center and crack in the egg. Slowly add water while stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough gently until smooth.
3. Roll the dough into a thick log and cut it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten each ball into a round disc using a rolling pin.
4. Take each disc and place about a tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center. Carefully bring the edges together and pleat to seal, forming a dumpling.
5. Heat a steamer and lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking. Arrange the momos in the steamer, ensuring they aren’t touching.
6. Steam the momos for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.
7. Serve the momos hot with a side of Whole30 compliant dipping sauce or fresh chutney.
