Divide the dough into small lemon size portions of an inch in diameter. Dust the dough portions in flour and roll out into a circle. Don’t roll too thick, as the filling will push itself out and tear when steamed.
Place a small spoon of filling in the center of the rolled circle. Bring together the edges of the dough with a pinching and folding motion on one side and bring the other side to hold to the pinched side. By doing this, the half moon shaped momos will have a frilled look. Proceed the similar way with the remaining dough.
You can experiment with different shapes and sizes that you like. All it takes is some time and practice.
Heat a sauce pan with oil, then place these momos carefully, add a ladle of water or vegetable stock and immediately cover it with a lid and cook the momo for 10 minutes.
Once done, add soy and chili sauce and toss the momo evenly till it well coated.
Serve the Shanghai Style Mantou Recipe-Pan Fried Momo as a party appetizer or as a side dish along with Vegetable Manchow Soup for a delicious meal.
