Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Water
• 300 grams Chicken breast, minced
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
• 2 Green chilies, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 Spring onions, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Gradually add water to form a smooth and pliable dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 2

To prepare the filling, take another bowl and combine minced chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green chilies, soy sauce, 0.5 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and chopped spring onions. Mix everything well.

Step 3

Divide the rested dough into small, equal portions and roll them into balls.

Step 4

Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out each ball into a thin, round wrapper about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 5

Place a tablespoon of the chicken filling into the center of each wrapper.

Step 6

Gently fold and pleat the edge of the wrapper, bringing it together to seal the filling inside. Pinch the top together to securely close the momo.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 8

Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil in the base. Lightly oil the steaming tray to prevent the momos from sticking.

Step 9

Place the momos in the steamer, ensuring some space between each. Cover and steam for 15-20 minutes until the wrapper turns translucent and slightly stretchy.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the momos carefully from the steamer and serve hot with spicy tomato or chili sauce.
