Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Cabbage (finely shredded)
• 0.5 cup Carrots (grated)
• 0.25 cup Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (gluten-free)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper powder
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water while kneading to form a smooth and pliable dough. Add vegetable oil and knead for 2-3 more minutes. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, mix shredded cabbage, grated carrots, finely chopped onion, grated ginger, and minced garlic.

Step 4

Season the vegetable mixture with gluten-free soy sauce, black pepper powder, and sesame oil. Mix everything thoroughly and set aside.

Step 5

Divide the dough into equal-sized small balls. Roll each ball into a thin, round wrapper using a rolling pin, dusting with a bit of gluten-free flour if necessary to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Gently fold and pleat the edges to seal the momo into a semicircle or round shape, ensuring there are no gaps.

Step 7

Prepare a steamer by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly to prevent the momos from sticking.

Step 8

Place the momos in the steamer, leaving some space between them to ensure even cooking. Steam for 10-12 minutes, or until the wrappers are slightly translucent and the filling is cooked.

Step 9

Carefully remove the momos from the steamer and garnish with chopped scallions, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
