Chicken Steam Mo:Mo
A beloved Nepali favorite, Chicken Steam Mo:Mo is a delicious dumpling dish that’s comforting, juicy, and packed with aromatic flavors — perfect as a snack, appetizer, or light meal. One of Nepal’s most iconic street foods, these steamed dumplings are loved by people of all ages.
Soft, delicate dough wrappers are filled with a flavorful mixture of finely minced chicken, fresh onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies, and aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and sometimes fresh herbs like cilantro. The filling is lightly seasoned with salt, pepper, and a hint of oil to keep it moist and juicy.
Each dumpling is carefully hand-shaped and pleated into a neat round or crescent shape, then gently steamed in a bamboo or metal steamer until the wrappers are tender and slightly translucent, while the chicken inside stays succulent and full of flavor.
Chicken Steam Mo:Mo is typically served piping hot with a side of tangy, spicy achar (tomato-sesame dipping sauce) that adds a burst of heat and zest with every bite. Sometimes, a bowl of hot soup or clear broth accompanies the dumplings for extra warmth and comfort.
Tender, juicy, and full of Nepali soul, Chicken Steam Mo:Mo is more than just dumplings — it’s a delicious taste of community and tradition, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
