Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 cup Plant-based chicken (minced)
• 0.5 cup Cabbage (finely chopped)
• 0.5 cup Carrots (grated)
• 0.25 cup Green onions (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Gradually add water to the flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth.

Step 3

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set aside to rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based chicken, cabbage, carrots, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, ground black pepper, and a touch of cooking oil. Mix well to create the filling.

Step 5

Divide the rested dough into small portions and roll each piece into a thin circle (approximately 3 inches in diameter).

Step 6

Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle.

Step 7

Gently fold and pleat the edges of the dough around the filling, pinching to seal the top. Repeat for the remaining dough and filling.

Step 8

Prepare a steamer by boiling water in the pot base. Lightly oil the steamer basket to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Arrange the momos in the steamer basket, ensuring there is space between each to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Steam the momos for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is cooked and translucent.

Step 11

Serve hot with a side of spicy tomato chutney or dipping sauce of your choice.
