Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 200 grams Vegan chicken substitute
• 1 cup Cabbage, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until elastic, cover with a cloth, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

For the filling, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the vegan chicken substitute and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil, then sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and the onions are translucent.

Step 4

Add the chopped cabbage and grated carrot to the pan, and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Stir in the sautéed vegan chicken, soy sauce, black pepper, and cilantro. Mix everything thoroughly. Remove the filling from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Divide the rested dough into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle of about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough circle. Carefully fold the edges over the filling, pleating and pinching the top to seal the momo securely.

Step 8

Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil. Lightly oil the steamer basket or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Arrange the momos in the steamer, ensuring they don’t touch each other. Steam for about 10-12 minutes, until the outer dough looks translucent and cooked.

Step 10

Serve the Vegan Chicken Momos hot with your favorite dipping sauce or chili paste.
