INSTANT POT STEAMED DUMPLINGS (MOMOS)

Steps:

• Take a large mixing bowl, take the flour and salt. Mix well and add water slowly followed by oil and mix the dough until it comes together.
• Knead the dough well for a few minutes till the dough is stretchy and smooth. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• Mix together all the veggies and add salt. Allow the mixture to stand for 5-10 minutes, and then use a kitchen towel to squeeze the water out of veggies. You can also use a nut milk bag or muslin cloth for this.
• Once squeezed, add the veggies to a bowl, season with pepper, chili oil, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well. Your filling is ready. Taste and add salt if needed.
• If you want to make a sautéed filling, refer to the instructions under the notes section.
• Start by working with the dough half an hour after the resting time. Divide the dough into small pieces or Squeeze a ball sized dough out and leave the rest under the damp towel.
• Use a rolling pin and roll the ball sized dough on a lightly floured counter or rolling base until it is a very thin disc-like tortilla.
• Try to make this as thin as you can. To make the rolling easier, flip and dust with more flour as you roll the dough ball into a thin disc. This helps the dough not to stick on the rolling base.
• Use a cookie cutter to cut the disc into 3 1/2 - 4-inch circles. Remove the scraps of dough and reuse it for making another disc.
• Take one piece of the small circle and place it on your palm or on the rolling board. Now add 1 tbsp of filling in the center. Moisten the edges with little water and then fold and punch the circle edges to form a round dumpling.
• Use the same process to make more dumplings and place the finished ones on a lightly greased plate.
• Prepare a steamer basket or rack and lightly brush it with oil. Add two cups of water in the inner pot and place the steamer basket or the rack on a trivet. Now place each dumpling or momo on it. Leave a little gap between them as they may stick to each other while cooking.
• Set the instant pot to steam mode and set 12 minutes on the timer. Cover the instant pot with a glass lid or secure the lid while the vent is open. Steam the dumplings for 12 minutes or until the dough is not sticky to touch.
• Use silicone tongs to remove the dumplings and transfer them to a plate. Repeat the same steaming process with the remaining dumplings.
• Serve the instant pot steamed dumplings warm with dark sweet soy sauce or chutney.
