Momos - Tibetian Steamed Dumplings image

When I was at Uni I shared with a number of other students, one of them a Tibetan guy who for the 5 years was terribly home sick. He would make all the foods he missed including homemade beer (a Tibetan tradition apparently) and then invite friends around. There is a very intricate way to seal the momos or you can go the easy path and just fold in half. The traditional way is to draw up 4 points around the circular dough and seal leaving a hole in the middle. When cooked you pour some sauce in the hole.

Time 55m

Yield 12-18 dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 cups roasted barley flour
3 cups flour
1 cup water
500 g hamburger, lean
1 onion, finely diced
250 g daikon radishes, finely diced
250 g spinach, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
2 spring onions, chopped (white -and green part)
2 tablespoons coriander leaves, chopped
salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons chili oil
2 cm piece fresh ginger, shredded
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons coriander leaves, chopped
1 spring onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Mix flour and the water; knead and form into a ball.
  • Set aside covered with a wet towel or plastic wrap in a warm place for 30 minute
  • Bring a large steamer of water to the boil.
  • Cut dough into 12 - 18 pieces and roll into small flat circles.
  • Mash together all filling ingredients.
  • Place a spoonful of filling in the centre of each dough circle.
  • You can then easily fold in halft and crimp the edges to seal - you end up with a semi circle package. Alternatively you can follow the instructions above.
  • Place momos in a steamer either lined with lettuce leaves or baking paper and steam on high for 30 minute
  • Make the dipping sauce by combining all ingredients. The chili oil is optional.
  • Mix the salsa together just before serving.
