Ingredients

    • For dough
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour (+ more for dusting)
    • ¾ cup + 1 tablespoon water
    • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    • For filling
    • ½ small sweet onion
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 1-inch piece fresh ginger
    • ½ bunch fresh cilantro
    • 10 oz ground chicken
    • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
    • ½ teaspoon turmeric
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon pepper
    • Parchment paper

    Steps

      1. Prepare dough. Place flour, water, and oil in large bowl. Stir to combine, then knead until dough is medium-firm and flexible. Cover bowl and let stand to rest 1 hour.
      2. Prepare filling. Chop onion, garlic, ginger (1 tablespoon), and cilantro (½ cup) finely. Combine in large bowl: onions, garlic, ginger, cilantro, chicken, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper until well blended.
      3. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Form dough into 1-inch balls; place balls on floured work surface and roll into 4-inch dough rounds. Arrange on baking sheet and cover with clean towel to prevent drying.
      4. Place 1 dough round in the palm of your hand and add 1 tablespoon filling to center. Pinch edges together with thumb and index finger until circle comes together. Repeat with remaining dough rounds and filling (wash hands).
      5. Bring 2–3 inches water to a boil in wok (or large sauté pan). Cut round of parchment paper to fit in bamboo steamer; punch holes in paper to let steam through. Arrange momos in steamer basket (in batches). Cover basket and place carefully in wok (water should not touch bottom of basket). Steam 8–10 minutes until filling is 165°F; repeat with remaining momos. Serve warm. (Makes 28 momos.)

    Do not eat raw dough/batter.

    If fruits and vegetables are part of this recipe, be sure to wash thoroughly.
