Roll Out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Roll out each ball into a thin circle (about 3-4 inches in diameter) on a floured surface.

Fill the Mo:Mo
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each rolled-out dough circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

Prepare the Steamer
Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil. Line the steamer basket with a clean cloth or parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Steam the Mo:Mo
Carefully place the filled Mo:Mo in the steamer basket, leaving space between them for expansion. Cover and steam for about 15-20 minutes until the dough is cooked and translucent.
