Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 cup Minced chicken
• 0.5 cup Grated cabbage
• 0.25 cup Grated carrot
• 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Minced ginger
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
• 1 teaspoon Low sodium soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and water to form a smooth, pliable dough. Knead for 8-10 minutes, then cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the filling by combining minced chicken, grated cabbage, grated carrot, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green onions, low sodium soy sauce, black pepper, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

Divide the dough into small, equal portions and roll each portion into a thin circle (approximately 3-4 inches in diameter).

Step 4

Place a small spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each circle. Carefully fold and pinch the edges together to seal the momo, forming a pleated pouch shape.

Step 5

Line a steamer basket with parchment paper or lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking. Arrange the momos in the steamer, ensuring they don’t touch each other.

Step 6

Steam the momos over boiling water for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is cooked and the filling is firm and fragrant.

Step 7

Serve hot with a low sodium dipping sauce or steamed vegetables on the side.
