Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground pork
• 300 grams Rice flour
• 100 grams Tapioca starch
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free)
• 100 milliliters Chicken broth
• 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 250 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, gluten-free soy sauce, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, salt, black pepper, and sesame oil until well combined; set aside.

Step 2

To make the dough, combine rice flour and tapioca starch in a mixing bowl. Gradually add water and mix until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and pliable. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Divide the dough into small 1-inch balls. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin circle, approximately 3 inches in diameter.

Step 4

Place a tablespoon of pork filling in the center of each circle. Bring the edges together and pleat to seal the momo, pinching tightly to prevent opening during cooking.

Step 5

In a steamer, bring water to a boil. Lightly oil the steamer basket or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the momos in the steamer basket, leaving some space between each piece. Steam the momos for 12-15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.

Step 7

Serve the momos hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as a spicy tomato chutney or tamari soy sauce.
