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

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until smooth.

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

Finely chop the cabbage, onion, and cilantro.

In a bowl, combine ground meat, chopped vegetables, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and spices.

Mix the filling thoroughly until well combined.

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

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

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

Prepare a steamer and line it with parchment paper or cabbage leaves.

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

Serve hot with dipping sauce.
