Short description: These dark buckwheat dumplings are usually filled with leafy greens and cheese, then served with a hot chile relish.
Ingredients: Buckwheat dough with greens, cheese, butter, onion, ginger, chile powder, and amaranth seeds.
Cultural note: It is associated with western valley New Year observances, where buckwheat, dairy, and leafy greens reflect cold-climate staples.
Common misconception: It is not the same as wheat momo; buckwheat dough and a leafy-cheese filling are key.
