Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 100 grams Cabbage
• 4 stalks Green onions
• 1 inch Ginger
• 2 Garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 100 grams Almond flour
• 1 Egg
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Start by mincing the chicken breast finely or you can also use a food processor for quicker results.

Step 2

Take the cabbage, green onions, ginger, and garlic and chop them into very fine pieces.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the minced chicken with cabbage, green onions, ginger, and garlic. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and set aside.

Step 4

To prepare the low carb dough, mix the almond flour with an egg and water in a different bowl. Knead it into a dough. You might need to add a little more water or flour to get a dough that is workable.

Step 5

Divide the dough into small balls, roughly the size of a golf ball.

Step 6

Using a rolling pin, roll each ball out into a thin circle about 3-4 inches in diameter. Be sure to roll it evenly and thinly enough so it cooks properly but not too thin that it breaks.

Step 7

Place roughly a tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of your dough circles.

Step 8

Pleat and pinch the dough around the filling to seal your momos. You can optionally shape them into the traditional crescent shape or any preferred shape.

Step 9

Prepare a steamer and line it with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Place the momos into the steamer in batches.

Step 10

Steam the momos for about 12-15 minutes until the dough is cooked and slightly translucent.

Step 11

Serve the momos hot with your choice of dipping sauce—such as chili garlic sauce or soy sauce based dip.
