Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 bunch celery
1/2 cabbage
1 bunch spinach
1 bunch green onion
1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, large, yellow, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons ginger, fresh, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper, Sichuan ground
10 mint leaves
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Chop the celery, cabbage, spinach, and green onion finely and by hand; it is important to chop the vegetables by hand: because a food processor will make them mushy and the juices will be lost in cooking.
  • Saute the onion in oil until brown and then add the garlic, ginger, paprika, Sichuan pepper, and mint; cook the spices briefly, then remove from the heat and add the soy sauce and salt.
  • Add the cooked mixture to the raw chopped vegetables, toss lightly with your hands to mix all together.
  • Fill the momos and steam for 5-7 minutes.
