Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Water
• 1 medium Carrot, finely shredded
• 1 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
• 0.5 cups Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (cilantro), chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Low sodium soy sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with water a little at a time, kneading it into a smooth, slightly firm dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrot, shredded cabbage, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped coriander leaves, black pepper, sesame oil, and low sodium soy sauce (optional). Mix well.

Step 3

Divide the rested dough into small, marble-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin, circular wrapper of about 3 inches in diameter. Use a rolling pin and lightly dust the surface with flour to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Place about 1 tablespoon of the vegetable filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the edges into pleats and pinch together to seal the momo completely. Repeat for all wrappers.

Step 5

Prepare a steamer by adding water to the base and bringing it to a boil. Grease the steaming tray lightly to prevent sticking. Arrange the momos in the steamer, leaving space between each to allow for expansion.

Step 6

Steam the momos on medium-high heat for 12-15 minutes or until the wrapper turns slightly translucent and the filling is cooked through.

Step 7

Serve the momos warm with a side of low-sodium dipping sauce or tomato chutney for added flavor.
