Bhutanese momos

Bhutan · South Asia

Short description: This local dumpling preparation wraps meat, cheese, or vegetables in wheat dough, then steams the parcels until tender.
Ingredients: Wheat-flour dumplings filled with pork, cheese, or vegetables, plus cabbage, onion, garlic, ginger, and chile sauce.
Cultural note: It belongs to a wider Himalayan dumpling family, but the hot sauce and local fillings make the serving feel distinct.
Common misconception: The dumplings are not always vegetarian; pork, cheese, and mixed vegetable fillings are all common.
