Momos are a type of steamed dumpling that are a popular snack in Nepal, Tibet, and parts of India. Here's a simple recipe for vegetable momos:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Water, as needed
• 1 cup finely chopped vegetables (cabbage, carrot, onion, mushroom, etc.)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 inch ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1.   In a huge blending bowl,consolidate the flour,salt and oil. Gradually add water and knead until you have a smooth and elastic dough. Cover the batter and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2.   In a pan, heat the oil and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the chopped vegetables and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are soft.

3.   Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper to the vegetable mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Eliminate from intensity and let it cool.

4.   Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each one into a thin circle. Cut each circle into 3-inch diameter circles.

5.   Place a spoonful of the vegetable mixture in the center of each circle. Bring the edges of the circle together and pinch them to form pleats, making sure that the momos are completely sealed.

6.   Place the momos in a steamer basket and steam for 8-10 minutes, until they are fully cooked and the dough is translucent.

7.   Serve the momos hot with a spicy dipping sauce made with soy sauce, chili sauce, and vinegar.
