"These are really good. The kid's love having them as a snack. I usually serve with an assortment of fruit as well as dipping sauces such as Sriracha or soy. The kid's like hoisin too. And sometimes Tsal, a mild salsa. Posted for Zaar World Tour 05"

ingredients

DOUGH
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup water
MEAT FILLING
1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
¹⁄₂ 1/2 lb spinach (chopped fine or shredded) or 1/2 lb cabbage (chopped fine or shredded)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
2 green onions, chopped (use all of it minus the roots)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 pinch salt
Tsal
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
cilantro
green onion
garlic

directions

Mix flour and the water; knead and form into a ball. Sometimes I like to add extra spices to the dough so it's not so bland.
Let rest covered with a wet towel or plastic wrap for 30 minute.
Combine the filling.
Bring a large pot of water to the boil.
Cut dough into 12 - 18 pieces and roll into small flat circles.
Place a spoonful of filling on each dough circle, folding over and crimping to seal.
Place momos in a steamer and steam on high for 30 minute.
To make the Tsal, just combine the ingredients in the amount needed.
I've never measured, just thrown the stuff together, so I have no exact measurements for all of it. For the tomatoes, I always Use Hunts Diced Tomatoes with Sweet Onions. (I'm lazy :D).

My name is Ami and I share my home with my husband, Carey, our two small sons, James and Charles and our daughters Meradydd (it's pronounced Meradith)and Kathrynn. Until recently, I was a Specialist in the National Guard. I'm pretty eclectic in my studies and I've learned a lot becuase of that since I don't limit myself. Right now I'm taking classes for animal care. I've also been studying a lot about herbalism and really enjoy learning about that. My mother and I also run a home based business for natural soap, balms, etc. We use only the most the natural ingredients available. I'm also a Mary Kay consultant. Busy, huh? :D I love to read and learn new things. My husband says our books will be the death of us. LOL. I love to cook and experiment. I also like to take walks, rain or not.
