Instructions
Make the Dough:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the dough ingredients.
- Add water little by little to make a soft dough. Do not add a lot of water in one go; otherwise, the dough may become sticky. Cover the bowl with a damp, clean cloth and set aside for 10 minutes.
Make the Filling:
- In a food processor, combine the garlic, ginger, onion, cabbage, carrot, green onion and cilantro, and process to a coarse mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized bowl and add the soy sauce, salt to taste, white pepper and oil, and mix well.
- Set the filling aside for 10 minutes. The vegetables in the filling will release water.
- Transfer the filling to a piece of cheesecloth and twist to get rid of all the liquid. This process will make the filling dry and the momos will not break while filling. Set the filling aside.
Assemble the Momos:
- Knead the dough for a minute, or until it is very smooth and pliable. Divide it into about two dozen equal-sized pieces.
- Roll each piece in between your hands to make a smooth ball. Now, take one ball and roll it out, using a rolling pin, to make a very thin circle. Cut the circle, using a 4-inch (10 centimeter) round cookie cutter. Using the cookie cutter will make sure the shape of the momos is very neat and uniform.
- Place 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of filling in the center of the circle and brush the edges with water. Bring the edges together and pleat them. Seal the ends nicely. Prepare all the momos in the same manner.
- Now, heat 4 cups (960 milliliters) of water in a large steamer.
- Line up the momos in the steamer basket and steam for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are glossy on the surface.
- Remove the steamer from heat and transfer the momos to a plate, using tongs. Serve hot with a hot and sweet dipping sauce.
