Ontario Beef Momos
- 500G GROUND ONTARIO BEEF
- 200G ONTARIO ONION, CHOPPED
- 3 CLOVES ONTARIO GARLIC, CHOPPED
- 2 CUPS FLOUR
- 1 CUP WARM WATER
- SALT & PEPPER TO TASTE
FOR DOUGH: In a medium bowl, combine flour, warm water and a pinch of salt. Knead until soft, smooth and flexible. Let rest for 30 minutes or up to one hour.
FOR FILLING: Combine beef, onion and garlic in a chilled bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
To assemble, pinch off small knob of dough. Roll into 3-inch round, about 1/4 cm thick. Place in the palm of your hand to cup slightly. Fill with 1 tablespoon beef mixture. Pinch all the sides together and bringing them to the center, creating a small ‘purse’ shape. Press and twist the top together.
Don’t roll them too big; momos will expand inside steamer. While rolling and pleating, keep the dough and the ready wrappers covered with a damp towel or plate to prevent from drying out. You can freeze momos by putting in the freezer immediately, and steam later.
TO COOK: Place 5 – 7 momos in steamer basket and steam over boiling water for approximately 7 minutes. Remove from heat, serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
