A word of caution! Momos straight out of the steamer or pan contain seriously hot juices. This is handy in one way, as they will hold their heat well if you are cooking them in batches – but if you want to tuck in straight away, we suggest doing as the Tibetans do and biting off just a small corner of the momo to let in a little cooling air and sucking out the juices before they burst out all over. You can then shovel your dip of choice inside the hole you’ve made, or squidge your momo into your chosen sauce.
