Chicken Dimsums (momos)

Chicken Dimsum (momo) Recipe:

Hi folks, Today I'm sharing a quick and simple way of making chicken momos - Both Fried and steamed. This snack is popular amongst both the old and young generation.

This includes 2 steps

Making the filling and making the outer wrap for the dimsums

Ingredients for Filling:

🔸250 gm minced chicken (kheema)

 

🔸1 green chilli 🔸1 Tbsp of Soya sauce 🔸1 Tbsp of white vinegar 🔸1/2 tsp of green chilli sauce 🔸1 cup finely chopped cabbage (you can use peas if you do not like cabbage)

🔸1 tsp of salt

🔸2 tsp of Cooking oil , 1 Tbsp of oil 🔸1 finely chopped onion 🔸5-6 garlic pods

🔸1 tsp of grated ginger/ ginger paste

Procedure:

First fry the onion and garlic along with the chicken pieces & cook for 10 minutes.

Then add green chillies, chopped cabbage, Fry for another 5 minutes.

Now add Soya sauce, vinegar, chili sauce, adjust salt and sugar according to your taste. 

Cover & cook on medium flame until the chicken is soft and cooked properly and the sauces have thickened. It takes around 10 minutes to cook if you're using well minced meat (kheema) 

                                                      Keep it aside to cool.

Making the outer wrap:

For Outer Wrap Ingredients:

• 2 cups of maida
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 pinch of eating soda
• Approx 1.5 cups of water
• Wet Cloth
• Cling film (Cling Wrap)
• Rolling pin

In a bowl, Take 2 cups of maida (all purpose flour) add, salt, oil, baking soda, then slowly knead with warm water. 

                           

After kneading it into a ball, cover the dough with oil by oiling your palm, After that cover it with a cling film or wet cloth and keep it aside for 1 hour. 

Roll it out into small balls and using a rolling pin flatten into 3-4 inch diameter circles. Or use a bowl and cut into a flattened out dough sheet and make circular outer wraps.     

Place 1 Tbsp of filling into the wrapper and Fold into the shape you desire, There are many ways of folding the outer wrap after filling it, Moon shapes, pouch shapes etc. I've folded them into a simple pouches.

You can Steam them in your rice cooker steamer (Slow cooker) or use a seperate steamer. 

                             

If you don't have the steamer attachment to your rice cooker, you can place a steel colander over the cooker after filling it with 1/4th water and then once the water starts boiling, place the momos and cover the cooker with a lid and steam for 10-15 minutes, Not more than that.

After wrapping them, You can even fry them in a pan with oil. I have shallow fried the momos, you can even deep fry them in a kadai (wok) filled with oil.

Fry the momos in the pan for 6-10 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. I like them crispy and crunchy so I fry them until they are deep golden brown. 

 

PS: Don't steam more than 15 minutes then it will become too chewy. Do not place too many together as they expand on steaming and may stick together and tear while removing.

~Enjoy~

Korean Bibim-guksu (Bimbim style Ramyeon)

Hello friends! Few years back I attended a Korean food fest at +Taj Deccan and It made me remember my own Korean food safari :) and I thought I must share it with you all.

My daughter is a huge fan of Korean Culture (K-Culture, including K-music, hangul, K-fashion and K-drama) and she has inspired me to cook korean cuisine as well. I make kimchi as a side dish very often. 
I had made this Ramen ("Ramyeon"-korean instant noodle) and Bibimbap with my daughter a couple of months back. This is how it looked.

Inspired by the Bibimbap and Bibimguksu 

Ingredients for topping:

• Mushrooms
• Tofu
• Red Bell Peppers
• Tomatoes
• Red chillies
• Green Peppers
• Boiled Eggs
• Pepper
• Crackers/ Cheese/ nachos
• Carrots
• Cucumbers (pickled)
• Kimchi (pickled Cabbage)

What is Ramyeon? this is how it looks:

 

What exactly is Bibimbap?this is the picture which inspired me to recreate the dish in my own way..

1)First you serve the hot ramen (Ramyeon) noodles and then 

2)Garnish with vegetables or kimchi or meat. I've used mushrooms, Bell peppers, eggs( boiled), sautéed tofu, carrots sliced thinly ,chickens (you can add boiled and seasoned meat or sea food of your choice)

3)Side dishes are a must in Korean food (Banchan) So I kept crackers. Pickled cucumber 🥒, kimchi ( pickled cabbage), fried mushrooms, blanched and tossed capsicum s and some spiced nuts.

You can garnish with fried eggs thinly sliced, pickles, dongchimi, sea food of your choice (the choices are endless)

                           

                                                                          ENJOY
