Dumpling Dough

Butter Sauce

Method

Dumpling Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Filling Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the filling

    In a bowl, combine ground chicken, cabbage, grated carrot, chopped green onions, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Dumpling Assembly

  1. 3

    Form the momos

    Divide the dough into small balls. Roll out each ball into a thin circle. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat until all dough and filling are used.

Cooking the Momos

  1. 4

    Cook the momos

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Place a steaming basket over the pot and arrange the momos in it. Cover and steam for 15-20 minutes until the momos are cooked through.

Butter Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the butter sauce

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice, and cook for another minute.

Combining and Serving

  1. 6

    Combine and serve

    Once the momos are cooked, toss them in the butter sauce until well coated. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
