Mix all-purpose flour and water in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Finely chop cabbage, carrots, and onions, and place in a mixing bowl.

Add minced garlic, ginger, ground meat, soy sauce, sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper to the vegetables.

Mix the filling thoroughly until well combined.

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a thin circle.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Prepare a steamer and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Steam the momos for about 15-20 minutes until the dough is cooked through.

Serve hot with chili sauce or dipping sauce of choice.
