Chicken Momo Recipe | How to Make Dim Sum at Home

Serving: These momos are best served immediately while hot and soft. They pair wonderfully with a simple dipping sauce or even a spicy chutney.

Storage: Leftover momos can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat them by steaming again for 5-10 minutes or microwaving with a damp paper towel.

Freezing: If you want to store the momos for later, freeze them on a tray in a single layer before transferring them to a freezer bag. Steam directly from frozen when you’re ready to enjoy!

Variations
Vegetarian Option: Replace ground chicken with finely chopped vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms for a vegetarian version of momos.

Spicy Filling: Add chili paste or red chili powder to the filling for a spicy kick.

Baked Momo: Instead of steaming, you can brush the momos with oil and bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
