Instant Pot Steamed Dumplings Momos Recipes

VEGETABLE MOMOS

Steps:

• In a food processer, combine garlic, ginger, green chili, green onion, mixed vegetables and tofu. Process until finely chopped.
• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the vegetable mixture and cook for 6~8 minutes, or until the veggies no longer smell raw. Add soy sauce, chili sauce, salt and pepper. Mix well and cook for 1 minute. Turn off stove and set aside to cool for 10~15 minutes.
• Work with one wonton wrapper at a time and keep the rest under a damp towel. Place about 2 teaspoons of the vegetable mixture in the center. Dampen the edges with water. Fold the wrapper over to encase the filling, then press the edges together to seal properly. Place the filled momo on a plate and cover it up to prevent it from drying out. Repeat with the remaining wrappers until the filling is used.Once the dumplings are wrapped, then they are ready to be cooked. At this point, you can freeze them for later. Or you can either steam or air fry or even deep fry them.
• Select Sauté and pour water into the Instant Pot. The water will start to simmer in 2 to 3 minutes. Place the prepared momos onto a steamer basket and place the basket in the pot.Place the lid on, lock it, and place the steam valve in the venting position. Cancel Sauté and select 'Steam'. Instant Pot does not count down in Steam mode, so make sure to set a separate timer for 12 minutes.Turn off the Instant Pot when the timer goes off and natural release the steam for 5 minutes; quick release the remainder. Open the pressure cooker and, using oven mitts, carefully remove the steamer basket.
• Place the prepared momo on a parchment lined bamboo steamer. Fill a wok with 1~2" of water and place the bamboo steamer in it. Water should come to about 1" to the side of the steamer. Steam for 10~12 minutes.
• Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Lightly grease the air fryer tray. Place the prepared momos in a single layer. Bake for 8~10 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through, until golden and crispy.
• Serve the momos hot with some chili sauce.
