Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Water
• 200 grams Ground chicken, lean
• 0.5 cup Carrot, finely grated
• 0.5 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 small Onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce, low sodium
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the flour mixture and knead into a smooth, elastic dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Prepare the filling by mixing the ground chicken, grated carrot, shredded cabbage, chopped onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, and a drop of vegetable oil in a bowl. Add cilantro if desired. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 4

Divide the dough into small, even portions and roll each into a thin circle, approximately 3 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Place a small spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each circle.

Step 6

Fold the edges of the dough around the filling, pinching and pleating to seal the momo. Repeat for all portions.

Step 7

Prepare a steamer by adding water to the base and bringing it to a boil.

Step 8

Lightly oil the steamer tray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the momos in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch each other.

Step 9

Steam the momos for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken filling is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).

Step 10

Serve hot with a side of low-fat yogurt or a spicy dipping sauce for a flavorful, low-fat treat.
