Chicken momo
Chicken momo is a delicious and popular dish that originated in the Himalayan regions of Nepal and Tibet. It is a type of dumpling made with a thin dough wrapper filled with a flavorful mixture of minced chicken, vegetables, and spices. They are steamed or fried and served with a dipping sauce. Chicken momo can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or as a main course.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 cup cabbage finely chopped
- 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 32-40 dumpling wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying (if desired)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, cabbage, onion, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Take a dumpling wrapper and place about a tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges together to seal. You can fold the edges in different ways to create decorative patterns if you'd like.
- Repeat the process until all the chicken mixture is used and you have about 32-40 dumplings.
- If you prefer steamed momo, arrange the dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper. Steam them for about 12-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- If you prefer fried momo, heat about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the dumplings in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crisp.
- Serve the chicken momo hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, chili sauce, or a combination of both.
