Dough Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add water, mixing with your hands until the dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
- 2
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and green chili, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed mixture with ground beef, chopped cilantro, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
Assembly and Cooking
- 3
Assemble the Mo:Mo
Divide the rested dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball out into a thin circle. Place a tablespoon 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 tightly.

Fry the Mo:Mo
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the filled Mo:Mo, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
