Wrapping

To start with, place a wrapper on your chopping board and spoon about a tablespoon of filling into the centre. Less is more when you are just starting out; you can add more filling as your confidence builds. Gently fold one side of the circle over the filling to meet the other side and, starting in the middle, use your fingertips to press the edges together into the board. (If you are using shop-bought wrappers, you’ll need to wet the edges before sealing.) If the momo is not completely sealed, the juices will escape during steaming, so try to ensure there are no gaps.
