Meet Momo: A Beloved Nepali Comfort Food
A quick introduction to the savory dumplings that have become a favorite across Nepal and around the world.
Momo are dumplings associated with Nepal and neighboring Himalayan food traditions. Their combination of tender wrappers, savory filling and bright dipping sauce makes them immediately comforting—even if you have never tried them before.
How momo are enjoyed
Momo may be steamed or prepared in other styles, depending on the restaurant. Fillings can include meat or vegetables. A tomato-forward or chile-accented sauce often supplies acidity, warmth and contrast.
They work well as a shared starter, a snack or part of a larger meal alongside other Nepali dishes such as chow mein.
