Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mix 2 cups all-purpose flour with 3/4 cup warm water to form a smooth dough. Knead for 10 minutes, then cover and rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine 10 oz ground beef, 1/2 finely chopped onion, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp minced ginger, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp chopped green onions. Mix well.
  3. Step 3: Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch circles. Place 1 tbsp beef filling in the center of each circle, fold and pleat edges to seal tightly.
  4. Step 4: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place momos flat side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Add 1/4 cup water to the skillet and cover immediately. Steam the momos for 6-7 minutes until filling is cooked and water evaporates.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil and cook for another 1-2 minutes to crisp the bottoms.
  7. Step 7: Serve hot with chili sauce or soy dipping sauce.
