Frozen Momos
Choose your preferred Momo cooking method below. (English)
Method 1: Steaming
​
-
Fill your pan or pot enough water and bring to a boil.
-
Lightly oil the steaming vessel to avoid sticking. (For bamboo steamer, use baking paper and poke a few holes on the paper to let the steam through.)
-
Place frozen Momos (dumpling) with flat side into the lightly oiled steamer vessel and leave a gap of about 1 cm between Momos.
-
Place the steaming vessel filled with Momos over the boiling water pot, cover the lid properly and leave the heat on high.
-
Depending on heat, steam 15 – 20 minutes until it looks plump and puffed.
​
Tip: Add some bouillon to the boiling water in the pot and enjoy the bouillon soup with the Momos.
Method 2: Steam-frying
​
-
Put 2 – 3 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick frying pan and heat.
-
Now reduce the heat to half. Place the Momos with the flat side in the frying pan and fry for 2-3 minutes until crispy.
-
Then add water to cover half the height of the Momos into the frying pan and close the lid.
-
Steam until the water totally evaporates.
-
Remove the lid and continue cooking until the dumpling bases are golden and crispy.
​
Tip: Serve it with our house-made hot sauce mixed with Soya sauce. Add more Soya sauce if our house-made hot sauce is too hot.
Method 3: Boiling
​
-
Fill enough water in a large saucepan and bring it a boil.
-
Add frozen Momos into the boiling water and lower the heat to half. Stir periodically to avoid sticking.
-
Cook the Momos for about 10 minutes until tender and cooked.
-
Drain the water or use straining spoon to serve the Momos.
​
Tip: Cook the Momos with mild bouillon and serve it as Momo Soup.
