Fusion Venison Momo (steamed dumpling)

[T.eddie]

About 2 weeks ago our alexa flagged up a chicken momo recipe. I wasn't sure what that was so clicked on it and had a read, liked the sound of it so added it to the list of things to try at somepoint.

Fast forward to today and after having a mincing session and with some more spare time I decided to revisit it.

It calls for ingredients such as grated ginger and green chilli. I didn't have either so had to improvise and this is where the fusion comes in. We had a curry kit a while ago which came with a spicy mango chutney which remained unopened. The ingredients in this included ginger and chilli so thought why not.

I mixed the mince with chutney, soy sauce, grated garlic and onion and then heated up some olive oil and poured it over.

The dumpling case was a simple dough mix of flour, salt and water left to rest for 30mins or so.

Then break into small balls and roll flat, fill with the mixture, squeeze together and then steam.

First attempt but turned out really well, I decided to take things up a notch by mixing a sauce of crunchy peanut butter, olive oil and sirracha which was fantastic.

Thanks Phil, no cooked as part of the steaming process, each dumpling only had a little filling as they aren't massive and I was also worried about it not cooking enough but thankfully seemed all okay
