These traditional Tibetan steamed dumplings are one of my favorite foods. They're typically served with a tomato chutney called achar. However, I think tomato achar tastes too much like Mexican salsa and is a pain in the ass to make. Instead, I just whisk together keycap manis (a sweet Indonesian soy sauce available at any Asian grocer) with Siracha and soy sauce.
Prep time 2-3 cocktails
Dough:
3 cups white flour
1 cup water
Filling:
2 Potatoes
3 TBSP ghee or oil
½ cup shallot, minced
2” Ginger, minced
2-4 cayenne or Serrano chilies, chopped
Dough:
3 cups white flour
1 cup water
Filling:
2 Potatoes
3 TBSP ghee or oil
½ cup shallot, minced
2” Ginger, minced
2-4 cayenne or Serrano chilies, chopped
5 cloves Garlic, minced
Pinch of curry powder
3/4 cup additional shredded veggies (bell pepper, cabbage, daikon, bok choi, etc).
¾ tsp Salt
Several good grinds black pepper
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
2-4 cayenne or Serrano chilies, chopped
1 tsp cumin
Dipping Sauce:
Now assemble your momos. Divide the dough into 18 small balls and cover. With a rolling pin, roll a dough ball into a 4-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Spoon a few tablespoons of filling into the disk. Pinch the dumpling closed around the filling. As you may have noticed from the picture above, I'm not great at making this look very pretty. But there are many momo how-to videos online. I recommend you check them out before attempting.

Start with the dough. Combine flour and water in a bowl and mix well. With a stand mixer or by hand, knead the dough for 10 minutes. The consistency should be somewhat like pizza dough--if it is too dry, add a TBSP or two of water. Let stand at least 30 more minutes, covered.
Bake or microwave the potato. Cut into small cubes. Set aside in a covered container.
Heat the ghee or oil over medium heat in a frying pan or wok. Add all filling ingredients except the potatoes and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until everything becomes a bit

Bring a bamboo or stackable steamer to a boil on high heat.
Now assemble your momos. Divide the dough into 18 small balls and cover. With a rolling pin, roll a dough ball into a 4-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Spoon a few tablespoons of filling into the disk. Pinch the dumpling closed around the filling. As you may have noticed from the picture above, I'm not great at making this look very pretty. But there are many momo how-to videos online. I recommend you check them out before attempting.
After you're dumplings are formed, it's time to steam them. I recommend that you brush the bottom of the steamer with a bit of oil to prevent sticking. Steam 8-10 minutes or until dumplings are tender but not chewy and dried out.
While the momos steam, make the dipping sauce by whisking together the three ingredients.
DUDE i love momo. all these recipes look AMAZING. i am fired up.
ReplyDeleteCool Mike! Let me know if you try the momos (or anything else) and what you think....
ReplyDeletehiiii
ReplyDeleteCombining kecap manis with Sriracha and soy sauce is such a clever shortcut for a dipping sauce! Traditional tomato achar can definitely feel a bit redundant if you want something quick, and that sweet-salty-spicy combo sounds amazing with potato and vegetable filling. Pleating and steaming dumplings usually turns into a fun group activity in our house. We usually stream some live shows or movies in the background using Xuper TV free download while sitting around the table wrapping momos. Love the relaxed vibe of this recipe!
ReplyDeleteMeasuring prep time in "2-3 cocktails" is easily the best kitchen instruction I’ve read all week! Potato and vegetable stuffed momos with plenty of ginger, garlic, and cilantro are pure comfort food. Wrapping dozens of individual dumplings definitely takes patience, but it’s the perfect excuse to kick back, grab a drink, and catch up on live streams via Xuper TV streaming app while getting all the dough pleated. Excited to give this vegetarian version a try!
ReplyDeleteThe spice blend in this filling—especially the fresh cayenne chilies balanced by cumin and cilantro—sounds delicious. Keeping the dough simple with just flour and water gives that classic chewy Tibetan dumpling texture once steamed. Whenever I plan a weekend cooking project like making batch dumplings, I always set up a tablet in the kitchen to watch live entertainment on Xuper TV official portal to keep me company. Appreciate you sharing your custom dipping sauce trick!
ReplyDeleteAdding daikon and bok choy into the potato base is a great way to keep the dumpling filling moist without making the dough soggy. Tibetan momos are such a crowd-pleaser, and steam-cooking them makes them feel so light despite the rich spices. Making a big batch of these on a Saturday night paired with some live sports streams on Super TV platform makes for the ultimate weekend evening. Thanks for posting such a fun, approachable recipe!
