Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut flour
- 1 cup Tapioca flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Boiling water
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 cup (shredded) Green cabbage
- 0.5 cup (shredded) Carrots
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Green onions
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon (minced) Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (for cooking filling) Coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, tapioca flour, and salt.
Slowly pour the boiling water into the flour mixture, stirring continuously with a spoon to form a dough. Add coconut oil and knead the dough until smooth and pliable. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in coconut aminos and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool.
Divide the dough into 12 small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle on a sheet of parchment paper or a clean surface dusted with tapioca flour.
Place a small spoonful of vegetable filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges by pinching them together or pleating to form a half-moon shape.
Add water to a steamer and bring it to a boil. Lightly grease the steamer basket with coconut oil to prevent the momos from sticking.
Place the momos in the steamer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Steam the momos for 10-12 minutes until the dough is cooked through and translucent.
Remove the momos from the steamer and serve warm with your favorite Whole30-compliant dipping sauce, such as coconut aminos-based sauce or a chili-garlic blend.
