🔸️250g ground chicken
🔸️1 finely chopped onion
🔸️2-3 cloves garlic
🔸️1-inch piece of ginger
🔸️1 small carrot, finely grated
🔸️2-3 green onions
🔸️2 tbsp cilantro
🔸️1 tbsp soy sauce
🔸️1 tbsp sesame oil
🔸️1 tsp chili flakes
🔸️Salt and pepper to taste
For the dough:
🔸️2 cups all-purpose flour
🔸️1/2 teaspoon salt
🔸️Water, as needed
Instructions
🔸️In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, grated carrot, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
🔸️Mix everything together until well combined.
🔸️In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
🔸️Add water and knead until a smooth and elastic dough forms.
🔸️Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
🔸️After the dough has rested, divide it into small, walnut-sized balls.
🔸️ Roll each ball into a thin, circular wrapper.
🔸️ Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each wrapper.
🔸️ To shape the momos, hold one edge of the wrapper between your thumb and index finger and start pleating the edges together, working your way around to create a sealed pouch.
🔸️ Once all the momos are shaped, grease a steamer basket or tray with oil to prevent sticking.
🔸️Arrange the momos in the steamer basket, leaving some space between each one to prevent them from sticking together.
🔸️Steam the momos over boiling water for about 10-12 minutes, or the filling is cooked.
🔸️Once cooked, carefully remove the momos from the steamer.
🔸️ Serve the chicken momos hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
