Nepalese Momo Dumplings Recipe

Momo dumplings are a popular Nepalese dish, typically filled with a mixture of seasoned ground meat or vegetables, wrapped in dough, and then steamed. Here's how to make them:

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground chicken, pork, or beef
• 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 package dumpling wrappers (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground meat, chopped cabbage, onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili powder (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each dumpling wrapper.
3. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, then fold the wrapper over the filling and pinch the edges together to seal.
4. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
5. Arrange the momo dumplings in a steamer basket, making sure they are not touching each other.
6. Steam the dumplings for 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.
7. Serve the momo dumplings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce mixed with a little vinegar or chili sauce.
