TIBETAN VEGGIE OR MEAT MOMO'S (TIBETAN DUMPLINGS)
Steps:
- (See http://www.yowangdu.com -- for photos, for round momo shape directions, and for more Tibetan recipes.) To shape the dumplings, place the dough on a chopping board and use a rolling pin to roll it out quite thinly. It should not be so thin that you can see through it when you pick it up, nor should it be quite as thick as a floppy disk for a computer. After you have rolled out the dough, you will need to cut it into little circles for each momo. The easiest way to do this is turn a small cup or glass upside down to cut out circles a little smaller than the palm of your hand. Then you are ready to add the filling. I will teach you the easiest momo shape-- the half-moon. You begin by holding the flat circular dough in your left hand and putting a tablespoon of filling in the middle of the dough. Then you have to fold your circle of dough in half, covering over the filling. Now press together the two edges of the half circle so that there is no open edge in your half circle, and the filling is completely enclosed in the dough. You will now have the basic half-moon shape, and you can make your momo pretty by pinching and folding along the curved edge of the half circle. Start at one tip of the half-moon, and fold over a very small piece of dough, pinching it down. Continue folding and pinching from the starting point, moving along the edge until you reach the other tip of the half-moon. As you are making your momo's, you will need to have a non-stick surface and a damp cloth or lid handy to keep the momo's you've made from drying out while you're finishing the others. Finally, you should boil water in a large steamer. Oil the steamer surface lightly so the momos won't stick to the metal, then place as many as you can without touching each other. Steam the momo's for 10 minutes, then serve them hot, with soy sauce or hot sauce of your choice to dip them in.
