Pan Fried Vegetable Momos

Ingredients 

• ½ cup chopped spring onion bulbs
• ½ cup chopped French beans
• ½ cup grated cabbage
• ½ cup grated carrot
• ¼ cup chopped spring onion greens
• 1 cup refined flour (maida) + for dusting
• Salt to taste 
• 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 1 inch ginger, cut into thin strips
• 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon oil 
• 1½ tablespoon chopped garlic
• ½ tablespoon chopped ginger
• White pepper powder to taste 
• Soy ginger sauce for serving

Method

1. Put 1 cup flour in a bowl. Add salt and sufficient water, mix and knead into a semi-soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 1 hour. 
2. To prepare sauce, heat a non-stick pan. Add soy sauce and bring to a boil. Add ginger strips, sesame seeds and salt, mix and cook for 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. 
3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in another non-stick pan. Add garlic and chopped ginger and sauté for 1 minute. 
4. Add spring onion bulbs, French beans, cabbage, carrot, spring onion greens and pepper powder, mix and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
5. Dust the worktop with some flour, place a portion of the dough on it and roll out into a large thin disc. Cut out circles from it using a medium size cookie cutter. 
6. Place a portion of the cooked vegetable mixture in the centre of each circle, bring the edges together and pinch to shape into momos. 
7. Heat remaining oil in a pan. Place the momos, sprinkle some water on top, cover and cook for 3-4 minutes. 
8. Serve hot with soy ginger sauce.
