Sajilo Kukhura ko Momo (Nepalese Chicken Momo Dumplings)

Ingredients:

2 batches Nepali momo wrappers
400g Chicken Mince
300g White Onions Finely chopped or grated
10 stalks fresh coriander, finely chopped
1 tbsp Ginger paste
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp freshly-ground Black Pepper
2 tbsp Vegetable oil
2 tbsp Cornflour blended to a slurry with 6 tbsp Cold Water
2 tbsp Soy sauce
2 Green chillies, finely chopped

Method:

Prepare the momo wrappers according to the the Nepali momo wrappers.

Whilst the dough is resting, prepare the filling.

Transfer the minced pork to a large mixing bowl. Add the remainder of the momo filling ingredients and mix everything thoroughly together using your hands.

When you have made all the wrappers, take a wrapper and place a tablespoon of the filling mixture in its centre.

Enclose by folding the tip of the wrapper, making pleats and pinching at the ends. If you want to keep things simple, just fold the circular wrapper in half into a semicircle shape and press the edges together to seal the filling.

Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers until all the filling is used.

To cook the dumplings steam them. Grease the steamer with vegetable oil before arranging the dumplings inside to avoid sticking.

Place the steamer basket over your saucepan or wok of boiling water and steam for about 15 minutes, or until fully cooked.

Serve with momo achar as a dipping sauce.
