MUSHROOM MOMOS RECIPE
Ingredients:
- 250 grams button mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
- 1/2 cup finely chopped spring onions
- 1/4 cup finely chopped carrots
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 inch piece of ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 30-40 dumpling wrappers
- Water for steaming
- Soy sauce and chili sauce for serving
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped mushrooms, cabbage, spring onions, carrots, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.2.Take a dumpling wrapper and place about 1 teaspoon of the mushroom filling in the center. Fold the wrapper in half, creating a half-moon shape, and press the edges together to seal. You can create pleats along the edge for a decorative touch, but it's optional.
3.Repeat the process with the remaining dumpling wrappers and filling until all the mixture is used.
4.Prepare a steamer by filling a large pot or steamer basket with water and bringing it to a boil. Line the steamer basket with cabbage leaves or parchment paper to prevent the momos from sticking.
5.Arrange the mushroom momos in the steamer basket, leaving some space between them to prevent sticking. Place the steamer basket over the pot of boiling water and cover it with a lid. Steam the momos for about 12-15 minutes or until the mushrooms are cooked through and the wrappers are translucent.
6.Once the Momos are steamed, carefully remove them from the steamer basket using tongs or a spatula. Transfer them to a serving plate.
7.Serve the mushroom momos hot with soy sauce and chili sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy these delectable and savory dumplings as a vegetarian appetizer or main course.
Note: Feel free to customize the filling by adding additional ingredients such as finely chopped onions, bell peppers, or cilantro, according to your taste preferences. Experiment and make this recipe your own, and savor the delightful flavors of Mushroom Momos.
