Pan-Fried Chicken Momos

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, add the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually pour in the water while mixing, until a smooth and elastic dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, prepare the filling by combining ground chicken, finely chopped onion, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

3. 3

   Divide the rested dough into small, equal portions and roll each into a ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle about 7-8 cm in diameter.

4. 4

   Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the edges over the filling and pleat to seal the momos, forming a crescent or round shape.

5. 5

   Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Arrange the momos in the pan, making sure they do not touch each other.

6. 6

   Fry the momos for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Add a splash of water (about 2-3 tablespoons), cover the pan with a lid, and let the momos steam for another 5-6 minutes until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.

7. 7

   Remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate. Serve the pan-fried chicken momos hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
