Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Water
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 cup Cabbage, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Carrot, grated
• 0.25 cup Green onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Low sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and water to form a smooth dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until elastic, cover with a damp cloth, and set aside for 30 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, mix ground pork, cabbage, carrot, green onions, ginger, garlic, low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and cilantro until well combined.

Step 3

Once the dough has rested, divide it into small portions and roll each into a ball. Using a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 4-inch diameter circle.

Step 4

Place a tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of each dough circle. Carefully gather the edges of the dough and pleat to seal the momo, pinching at the top.

Step 5

Prepare a steamer with water at the bottom, bring it to a boil. Arrange the momos on a greased steamer tray, leaving space in between to prevent them from sticking.

Step 6

Steam for about 12-15 minutes until the momos are cooked through and the dough is not sticky when touched.

Step 7

Serve hot with a side of low sodium dipping sauce or tomato achaar.
