Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Arrowroot powder
- 0.75 cup Hot water
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Carrot, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional, for flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut flour and arrowroot powder. Slowly add hot water while stirring to form a dough. Knead it gently until smooth. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by combining ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, cilantro, shredded carrot, coconut aminos, sesame oil (optional), salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Divide the rested dough into small, equal-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). On a clean surface dusted lightly with arrowroot powder, roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each dough circle. Carefully fold and pleat the edges together to seal, forming a traditional momo shape or a half-moon shape.
Prepare a steaming pot or steamer basket. Line it with parchment paper (or brush lightly with compliant oil) to prevent sticking. Place the momos in the steamer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Steam the momos over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken filling is fully cooked and the dough turns slightly translucent.
Carefully remove the momos from the steamer. Serve hot with a side of Whole30-compliant dipping sauce, such as a coconut aminos-based chili sauce or a simple tomato salsa.
