Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons Psyllium husk powder
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cups Hot water
• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 1 medium Green chili, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Green onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for strict keto)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, and xanthan gum. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the egg and hot water to the dry ingredients and knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough rests, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, mix the ground chicken, garlic, ginger, green chili, green onion, cilantro, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), salt, black pepper, and sesame oil until well combined.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a thin circular sheet. You can place the dough between parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place 1 to 2 teaspoons of the chicken filling in the center of each circle. Carefully fold the edges over the filling and pleat to seal, forming a dumpling shape.

Step 6

Prepare a steamer by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking. Arrange the momos in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch.

Step 7

Steam the momos for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken filling is fully cooked and the dough becomes slightly translucent.

Step 8

Remove the momos from the steamer and serve hot with a low-carb dipping sauce or chili oil. Enjoy!
