Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 cup Vegan chicken strips (soy-based or seitan)
• 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
• 0.25 cup Carrot, finely grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, minced
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Vegetable oil
• 2 cups Additional water (for steaming)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth, elastic dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough rests, prepare the filling. Chop the vegan chicken strips into fine pieces or pulse them in a food processor for a shredded texture.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for a minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion, cabbage, and carrot to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped vegan chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.

Step 6

Divide the rested dough into small equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle (3-4 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin.

Step 7

Place 1-2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold and pleat the edges to seal the momo completely.

Step 8

Prepare a steamer and bring the water to a boil. Lightly grease the steamer basket to prevent sticking, and arrange the momos in a single layer without touching each other.

Step 9

Steam the momos for 10-12 minutes until the dough is cooked and slightly translucent.

Step 10

Serve the vegan steamed chicken momos hot, accompanied by your favorite dip or spicy momo sauce.
