Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Gyoza/Won Ton wrappers
- 500 g chicken breast minced
- 2 banana shallots finely diced
- 2 spring onions finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes skinned and finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1 inch piece of ginger peeled and grated
- 1 small bunch of coriander finely chopped
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened
- 2 red chillies finely diced
- salt & Pepper
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
Instructions
-
Add all of the ingredients (apart from the wrappers) into a mixing bowl and using your hands blend the ingredients together very well until completely incorporated.
-
Place your wrapper onto a kitchen surface and wet the outside edge with water
-
Put a teaspoon of the chicken mix into the centre of the wrapper and then bring the sides together to seal the Momo
-
Pinch the edges into a pleated pattern or crimp them (I recommend watching a video on how to do this)
-
Continue wrapping the Momos until you have as many as you need. The mixture makes lots of Momos so I did freeze half of the mixture to use at a later date. You can also freeze the wrappers.
-
Steam the Momos in a bamboo steamer for between 8 to 10 minutes
-
Serve immediately with a spicy dipping sauce.
