Authentic Tibetan Momo Recipe: Discover the Flavor of Tibet with These Dim Sum Dumplings

Features:
    Cuisine:

    My stepdaughter and boyfriend came back from Nepal raving about momo, so I had to give it a try and we had these as part of our family Friday night supper last week. Not having access to kosher yak meat ;-) used ground beef. I minced up the onions, 5 cloves of garlic (not 3) and a healthy dose of Microplaned ginger and added it to the beef. I tried another recipe for momo earlier with a much more complicated spice list and that was not too well received. However, this recipe got raves. I had a bit of filling left over and just fried that up in some olive oil and added some crushed tomatoes and served that as a sauce over the momo. I got 28 dumplings out of this batch and not a single one was left to nosh on the next day. I will most certainly make these again, they were a hit!

    Tibetan Momo (A Dim Sum Dumpling from Tibet), Love dim sum, dumplings of all types and momo is excellent. Found the recipes at recipecottage after watching restaurant makeover and Chef Lynn’s reaction to it. I actually use bison because of its leanness since i cannot find yak. Simple flavors but that is why it is important to use enough ginger and garlic. Test the momo by dropping a mini pea size ball into the oil and correct seasonings if needed. I like a strong ginger flavor. Will post ingredients for Sherpa Momo and Nepalese under directions as well, same dough and methods as the Tibetan. Go crazy and use vegetarian or whatever you like, but I think the first one is the best to try and get the authentic Tibetan taste to build on. If you want a dipping sauce with them, this seems like a good one: Recipe #245575 final serving amounts are guesstimates, depends on the size you make them., My stepdaughter and boyfriend came back from Nepal raving about momo, so I had to give it a try and we had these as part of our family Friday night supper last week.

I made the tibetan filling and the napalese filling. My boys ate every one. Thanks for a great recipe. Made for 1-2-3 Tag.
